Description:
------------
wddx_serialize_value generates an invalid wddx package/xml 
string.

in php version 4.4.2 the sample code works, in 4.4.3 not.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
        $array = array(
                'index' => array(
                        1 => 'integer key',
                        'string' => 'string key'
                )
        );
        var_dump( wddx_serialize_value( $array ) );
?>


Expected result:
----------------
/web/cg/playground# /usr/local/php-4.4.2-fastcgi/bin/php 
wddx.php 

string(219) "<wddxPacket version='1.0'><header/
><data><struct><var name='index'><struct><var 
name='1'><string>integer key</string></var><var 
name='string'><string>string key</string></var></struct></
var></struct></data></wddxPacket>"


Actual result:
--------------
/web/cg/playground# /usr/local/php-4.4.3-fastcgi/bin/php 
wddx.php 

string(179) "<wddxPacket version='1.0'><header/
><data><struct><var <struct><string>integer key</string></
var><var n<string>string key</string></var></struct></var></
struct></data></wddxPacket>"

The function wddx_serialize_vars seems also affected:

$array=array("aaa", "bbb", "ccc");
echo wddx_serialize_vars("array");

creates to the broken XML code unter PHP 4.4.3

<wddxPacket version='1.0'><header/><data><struct><var<array
length='3'><string>aaa</string><string>bbb</string><string>ccc</string></array></var></struct></data></wddxPacket>

When replacing sprintf() with snprintf(), the length of the resulting string was calculated wrongly. Patch follows:

You also need something like the patch below because serialization of plain integers is broken too. If you don't want to use full WDDX_BUF_LEN, Z_STRLEN(tmp) + Z_STRLEN(WDDX_NUMBER) (or something) might suffice.

Without the patch things like <number>1</number> seem to get eaten.

Trivial test case attached in the following diff.
