Req #75053 [NEW]: Integer array key limitations

From: bryanp at healthendeavors dot com Operating system: Windows 2008 server PHP version: 5.6.31 Package: Math related Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description:Integer array key limitations Description: ------------ Casting large numbers to integers as array keys leads to unexpected results that are not obvious when looking at the code. It appears the 32-bit integer limit is being reached. Casting the key to a string or triggering an error letting the user know something went wrong would be more helpful. I think it's much more useful to have the wrong type than the wrong value as the key. Additionally, casting to an integer has a chance to replace an existing key. Releated bugs: 51430 shows as duplicate of 51008 which shows a status of Closed and says fixed. Test script: --------------- $arr = [1410065407 => 'some value']; $arr[9999999999] = 'another value'; var_dump($arr); Expected result: ---------------- array (size=2) 1410065407 => string 'some value' (length=10) '9999999999' => string 'another value' (length=13) Actual result: -------------- array (size=1) 1410065407 => string 'another value' (length=13) -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=75053&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75053&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.5): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75053&r=trysnapshot55 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75053&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75053&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75053&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75053&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75053&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75053&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75053&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75053&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75053&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75053&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75053&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75053&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75053&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75053&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75053&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75053&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75053&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75053&r=mysqlcfg
