This is a real duplicate:

 https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=45959

And it ended in fixing the Documentation.
What is fine. But the Documentation did
 not get Update everywhere.

This page covers it just fine.

 http://www.php.net/manual/en/
language.types.array.php#language.types.arr
ay.casting 
 
But this one doesnt

 http://www.php.net/manual/de/
language.types.array.php#language.types.arr
ay.casting


I see the language parameter in the url, but it in english all the time.
Can someone make all the pages up to date.

Hi janfili, 
   It IS a bug, @see https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=61655
object -> array have problem, so does array -> object have the same problem.

It is inconsistent, but it was documented.

....
would you read my comment clearly(or the comment of  scottmac@php.net in #51951)?

as I said, the key has become to a string...

I knew what you are saying, but as I said, it's a knew behavior(or knew issue)...

Would you please read my comments carefully again?

as i mentioned in earlier comments

it is NOT possible to get the values using

1. var_dump($array[1]);

or

2. var_dump($array['1']);

or

3. var_dump($array["1"]);

or

4. $k = array_keys($array);
   var_dum($array[$k[0]]);

All of these options will result into undefined index.

Even though the keys we convertet to strings, you cant get the values by using the string key. You
cant even get the value if you get the keys by array_keys() first. Before posting something about
string keys vs int keys now, just take a close look at 4.

best regards

they are the same....

the array's key 1 has become to string "1"..

not similar to https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51915

51915 mentions that the indexes become strings, and that is the case of course through json
en/decoding.

The bug described in this ticket is that the elements belonging to these keys are not retrievable
anymore. 

even if you explicitly get the keys

$k = array_keys($array);
echo $array[$k[0]];

will result in undefined index. Reductio ad absurdum
