Description: ------------ Calling dba functions (e.g. dba_exists/dba_insert) with a non-string key causes the key to be cast to a string. This also affects any variables that are copies of the key variable. This seems to be independent of database type - tested with db4 and flatfile databases. Test script: --------------- <?php $db = dba_open('/tmp/testdb', 'c', 'flatfile'); $i = 1; //use integer key $j = $i; //copy by value echo gettype($i)."\n"; echo gettype($j)."\n"; dba_exists($i, $db); echo gettype($i)."\n"; echo gettype($j)."\n"; Expected result: ---------------- integer integer integer integer Actual result: -------------- integer integer string string -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=65708&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65708&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65708&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65708&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65708&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65708&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65708&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65708&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65708&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65708&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65708&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65708&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65708&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65708&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65708&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65708&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65708&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65708&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65708&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65708&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65708&r=mysqlcfg
