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
