Quite simple:
$test['k1']['k2'] is a string. Now you can access every single char of a
string by simply appending an array-like index, for example:
$string = 'Foo';
print $string[1];
would output 'o'.
In your case you're trying to access the character at position 'k3'.
Casted to an integer 'k3' becomes '0', so you're simply overwriting the
first character of $test['k1']['k2'].
Try this instead:
$test['k1']['k2']['k3'+1] = 'world';
Result? 'hwllo'
