(You have an example below) Test script: --------------- <?php $key1 = "00"; $key2 = "01"; $key3 = "11"; $array[$key1] = ''; $array[$key2] = ''; $array[$key3] = ''; foreach($array as $key => $value) { echo $key.':'.gettype($key).'<br />'; } ?> Expected result: ---------------- 00:string 01:string 11:string Actual result: -------------- 00:string 01:string 11:integer ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=55549&edit=1
