Hi,

I don't know whether this was already discussed before, but ..

have you ever though about the fact that PHP is not very cleanly
designed when looking at Arrays and Hashes? How can I predict whether
a array/hash is sorted by it's INTEGER indices or it's STRING indices
when using functions such as asort(), ksort() .. I don't know whether
these indices are casted into the other type or not. Maybe, by
accident I write $array['12'] = .. and from then PHP thinks I'm using
string indices (thus casting all indices to string).

Of couse, I could just try out but that isn't really a proper and
clean language design. Shouldn't it be possible to FORCE either
method? such as

 i_asort();
 str_asort();

ok, that's a quite stupid proposal but you get the idea I hope :)
 
Kind Regards,
  Daniel Lorch
