Why don't you can fix type casting from array to object? When int-indexes are always converted to string-indexes this problem will disappear? Or why are numeric indexes allowed in classes? When numeric index are disabled in classes indexes are always (?) strings? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-01-25 22:39:31] rasmus@php.net Right, so your bug report is just a really obfuscated way of reporting this: $a = array(1=>'abc'); $b = (object)$a; $i=1; $b->$i = 'def'; var_dump($b); which shows the inherent side-effects of casting an array to an object indiscriminately. This is just how it works. You can kinda-sorta fake numeric properties if you try hard, but it is a bad idea. Fix your code to do: $a = array('1'=>'abc'); $b = new stdclass; foreach($a as $k=>$v) $b->$k = $v; $i=1; $b->$i = 'def'; var_dump($b); instead of expecting casting to do the right thing. Or if you know you are going to be using the array as an object, use string indices. Like a1, a2, a3.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-01-25 21:17:07] bobwei9 at hotmail dot com Yes, but this: for ($i=1;8 >= $i;$i++) { $ang->$i *= $ang_fak; $ver->$i *= $ver_fak; } creates a new index (string), and don't overwrite the old index (int), and also there are two indexes of the same value (but two different types int and string) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-01-25 21:11:06] rasmus@php.net I don't understand this bug report. I see this in $_GET: Array ( [ang] => Array ( [1] => 79 [2] => 786 [3] => [4] => [5] => 89 [6] => [7] => [8] => ) [ver] => Array ( [1] => [2] => [3] => 78786 [4] => 8 [5] => 8 [6] => 445 [7] => 3 [8] => ) ) That looks correct to me. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
