New Comment:
This is the expected results, PHP will not emulate an integer overflow
on 64 bit systems.

Description:
------------
I use in my code in an array a key that is a string only composed of
numbers ("20041001103319").
The problem is that this key is automatically converted into an int by
PHP and as it is a long string, it produces an integer overflow for the
array index (see the code and the Actual result) after serialization and
then unserialization.
Note that I compiled PHP 4.3.10 on my laptop (32 bits) and there is no
problem at all (I can see the Expected result), but when I compile on
an AMD 64 (Opteron) machine, the wrong (Actual result) is shown.
(I've also saw this bug with a 4.3.2 on the Opteron machine).
Problem with cast of strings into int when 64 bits ...
Note that if I try on my laptop with a shorter key (ie "2004100") that
does not overflows the int capacity, it is also automatically casted
into an int.
My conclusion is "Never use as keys in arrays strings only composed of
numbers". But I think that at least a notice should be displayed for
such implicit casts.
Or maybe I missed something in the documentation. In this case, sorry
for the loss if time.
It is most related with Bug #28972 but in this case, we can see the
difference in the treatment between 32 and 64 bits arch.
Reproduce code:
---------------
$arr["20041001103319"] = 'test';
var_dump( $arr);
$arr_in_str = serialize($arr);
print "Now result is: $arr_in_str<BR />";
$final_arr = unserialize($arr_in_str);
print "The final unserialized array:<BR />";
var_dump($final_arr);
Expected result:
----------------
array(1) { ["20041001103319"]=> string(4) "test" }
Now result is: a:1:{s:14:"20041001103319";s:4:"test";}
The final unserialized array:
array(1) { ["20041001103319"]=> string(4) "test" }
Actual result:
--------------
array(1) { [20041001103319]=> string(4) "test" }
Now result is: a:1:{i:20041001103319;s:4:"test";}
The final unserialized array:
array(1) { [683700183]=> string(4) "test" }
