What version of php are you running? If you rewrite this as $url = $url + array(, does it fix your problem?

I just upgraded from drush 4.5 to 5.1 and am getting this error as well.

[code]
-bash-4.1$ php --version
PHP 5.3.3 (cli) (built: Feb 3 2012 02:39:26)
Copyright (c) 1997-2010 The PHP Group

[/code]

I have tried the above fix and that has no effect.

This failure was seemingly random for me, sometimes showing up, other times I was getting an exception about not being able to contact the database.

What was causing the error is the randomly generated mysql user password I am passing to drush via the --db-url parameter. If the password has characters other than a-z,A-Z,0-9, drush may, and many times does choke. The character "/" appears to be the culprit, but I've seen spaces do it as well.

This behavior did not occur with drush 4.5.

My apologies, This fails with drush 4.5 as well -- apparently, I was lucky enough not to have had a "/" in any of my random passwords for quite some time.

Regardless, perhaps some error checking upfront on the inputs might help here.

Considering that the format of a db-url is mysql://user:password@localhost/dbname, you would, it seems, have to have problems if you replaced "password" with a string that included a non-escaped slash. Are you perhaps escaping the slash? I would expect drush-4 to fail otherwise as well. I am using non-alphanumeric mysql passwords with Drush-5, and they work fine. Perhaps you could provide the exact commandline you are entering to cause this failure?

This error pops up when Drush gets wrong db-url parameter. Happened to me when I typed mysql://user:password@localhost:dbname (notice semicolon instead of /) by mistake.

Issue summary: View changes

In my case it was caused by special characters in mysql password. In my original mysql password there were these special characters ';/[]' and I saw exactly the same error message '... line 1467'. After changing the password to something else more acceptable (containing these other special characters ':?{}' by the way), this error message goes away and I am able to install with the command drush site-install ... --db-url=mysql://root:'ACCEPTABLE_PASSWORD'@localhost/drupal7
