Edit report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=54651&edit=1 ID: 54651 Comment by: felipecg00 at gmail dot com Reported by: smartcoding at live dot com Summary: Modify existing elements in Array created from Object Status: Open Type: Bug Package: Class/Object related Operating System: * PHP Version: 5.3.6 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: I can reproduce it in 5.3.3. Seems like it happens with numeric indexes only: //create object $obj->q = 'something'; //convert object to array $arr = (array)$obj; //modify element $arr['q'] = 'something else'; //dump final array print_r($arr); Result: Array ( [q] => something else ) This way works: //create object $obj = new stdClass(array( 1 => 'something' )); //convert object to array $arr = (array) $obj; //modify element $arr[1] = 'something else'; //dump final array print_r($arr); Results: Array ( [1] => something else ) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-05-02 15:51:39] smartcoding at live dot com Description: ------------ After converting and Object to an associative Array using (array) variable type prefix cannot access and modify existing elements.
