Bug #72254 [Opn]: get_object_vars() returns unusable result when keys are numeric

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=72254&edit=1 ID: 72254 Updated by: yohgaki@php.net Reported by: unirgy at gmail dot com Summary: get_object_vars() returns unusable result when keys are numeric Status: Open Type: Bug Package: Scripting Engine problem Operating System: Any PHP Version: 7.0.6 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: I'm not sure why JSON does special(?) thing. In general, array with numeric index should be able to be accessed. https://3v4l.org/VIhtW Our manual is not correct about object to array cast. It does not have to be inaccessible like above. We should avoid inconsistent behavior. It seems some overhead is required fix this inconsistency. Question would be "is it too severe or not?".

If $var is array and has 1 as key, it must be accessible as $var[1] and/or $var['1'] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2016-05-23 01:08:03] unirgy at gmail dot com Just to confirm, are you saying this is an expected behavior and change from 5.6? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2016-05-23 00:59:20] yohgaki@php.net https://3v4l.org/7tshA PHP 7 behaves like HHVM. PHP 5.6 does not. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2016-05-23 00:47:09] unirgy at gmail dot com Description: ------------ If argument in get_object_vars() has numeric keys, the resulting array is built using numeric string keys, which apparently can't be referenced. Test script: --------------- $json = '{"1":"A"}'; $arrWorks = json_decode($json, true); var_dump($arrWorks); var_dump($arrWorks[1], $arrWorks['1']); echo "\n=================\n"; $arrDoesntWork = get_object_vars(json_decode($json)); var_dump($arrDoesntWork); var_dump($arrDoesntWork[1], $arrDoesntWork['1']); Expected result: ---------------- array(1) { [1]=> string(1) "A" } string(1) "A" string(1) "A" ================= array(1) { [1]=> string(1) "A" } string(1) "A" string(1) "A" Actual result: -------------- array(1) { [1]=> string(1) "A" } string(1) "A" string(1) "A" ================= array(1) { ["1"]=> string(1) "A" } Notice: Undefined offset: 1 in /in/bbleq on line 12 Notice: Undefined offset: 1 in /in/bbleq on line 12 NULL NULL ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=72254&edit=1
