#21814 [NEW]: false array keys

From: philip@cornado.com Operating system: linux PHP version: 4CVS-2003-01-22 (stable) PHP Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Bug description: false array keys One can create a key as integer 0 and access it with key boolean false but one cannot create an array with boolean false as the key. In otherwords: $arr = array(false => 'bar'); // array() $arr = array((int)false => 'bar'); // array(0=>'bar') $arr = array(0 => 'bar'); print $arr[false]; // bar print $arr[(int)false]; // bar This seems inconsistent. From the documentation: Using TRUE as a key will evalute to integer 1 as key. Using FALSE as a key will evalute to integer 0 as key. Please explain the reasoning behind the current behavior. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=21814&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21814&r=trysnapshot Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21814&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21814&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21814&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21814&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21814&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21814&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21814&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21814&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21814&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21814&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21814&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21814&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21814&r=gnused
