Re: Re: PHP 4.0 Bug #9307 Updated: Numeric-looking array keys are forced to be integers

Very bad. Why would you distinguish between string and number keys? Anyway, there's no way (known to me) to do this in PHP. If you tell me why would you need this, I could probably give some advice (such as adding "k_" to each key, for example), but as a theoretical example it just looks like "let's do something just because we want, no matter that PHP is not meant to do that". -- Stanislav Malyshev, Zend Products Engineer stas@zend.com http://www.zend.com/ +972-3-6139665 ext.115
