note 67686 added to language.types.array

Extremely irritating quirk regarding the variable types of array keys: <?php $r = array('05' => "abc", '35' => "def"); foreach ($r as $key=>$value) var_dump($key); ?> The first var_dump for '05' is: string(2) "05" as expected. But the second, '35', turns out as: int(35) Php apparently decided to make the 35 became an int, but not the 05 (presumably because it leads with a zero). As far as I can see, there is absolutely no way of making string(2) "35" an array key. ---- Server IP: 64.71.164.2 Probable Submitter: 70.34.157.184 ---- X-Spam-Status: No, hits=3.1 required=5.0 tests=DATE_MISSING,FROM_NO_LOWER autolearn=no version=2.64 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.array.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/note/edit/67686 Del: integrated -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/67686/integrated Del: useless -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/67686/useless Del: bad code -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/67686/bad+code Del: spam -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/67686/spam Del: non-english -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/67686/non-english Del: in docs -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/67686/in+docs Del: other reasons-- http://master.php.net/note/delete/67686 Reject -- http://master.php.net/note/reject/67686 Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
