ID: 9307 Comment by: info at fedushin dot ru Reported by: da...@php.net Summary: Numeric-looking array keys are forced to be integers Status: Closed Type: Bug Package: Scripting Engine problem Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 4.0.4pl1 New Comment: Some arguments to consider (integer)1 and "1" as different array keys are given in Bug #51384. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-03-06 08:24:20] s...@php.net Right, this is how PHP works. That's not a bug, that's an intended behaviour. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-02-16 16:17:20] da...@php.net <? $myarray['105'] = 'Hello'; $myarray[(string)'106'] = 'Goodbye'; var_dump($myarray); ?> array(2) { [105]=> string(5) "Hello" [106]=> string(7) "Goodbye" } It shouldn't be auto-converting array keys to numbers if they're already of a different type! Let's say I have an whole list of items as my array keys, and one just happens to be "able" to be converted into a number. Suddenly one of my array keys is no longer a string. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=9307&edit=1
