This is already documented:
4.1.0 to 4.3.2 In PHP versions 4.1.0 through 4.3.2, range() sees numeric strings
as strings and not integers. Instead, they will be used for character sequences.
For example, "4242" is treated as "4".

Description:

Hi.
I think the 'range()' function should return an array with strings, if the
'start' and 'limit' arguments are numeric strings. Otherwise it should be
mentioned in the documentation.
Test script:
---------------
<?php
var_dump(range('0', '9'));
Expected result:
----------------
array(10) {
[0]=> string(1) "0"
[1]=> string(1) "1"
[2]=> string(1) "2"
[3]=> string(1) "3"
[4]=> string(1) "4"
[5]=> string(1) "5"
[6]=> string(1) "6"
[7]=> string(1) "7"
[8]=> string(1) "8"
[9]=> string(1) "9"
}
Actual result:
--------------
array(10) {
[0]=> int(0)
[1]=> int(1)
[2]=> int(2)
[3]=> int(3)
[4]=> int(4)
[5]=> int(5)
[6]=> int(6)
[7]=> int(7)
[8]=> int(8)
[9]=> int(9)
}
