Description:
------------
Array items are not as defined when using the same key twice.

I have not yet tested this outside of a class.







Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php

Foo::Bar();

abstract class Foo {

        const A = 1;
        const B = 2;
        const C = 3;
        const D = 1;
     
        protected static $sample = array(
                self::A => 'Apple',
                self::B => 'Boy',
                self::C => 'Cat',
                self::D => 'Dog'
                );
       
    public static function Bar() {
        print_R( self::$sample );
    }
}       
?>

Expected result:
----------------
In PHP 5.2.x:

Array
(
    [2] => Boy
    [3] => Cat
    [1] => Dog
)

This is what I would expect to be valid, as the 2nd entry would override the first, making "Dog" the correct value for index 1.

Actual result:
--------------
In PHP 5.3.x:

Array
(
    [1] => Apple
    [2] => Boy
    [3] => Cat
)

This was not expected, as the 1st entry maintained it's value.

Thank you for your bug report. 

I was able to reproduce the problem and make the testcase somewhat simpler:

<?php
class Foo {
        const A = 1;
        const D = 1;
     
        public static $sample = array(
                self::A => 'First',
                self::D => 'Last'
        );
}       
print_r(Foo::$sample);
?>

I've confirmed this in Linux as well.

The following works fine:

<?php
    define('a',1);
    define('b',1);
    $test = array(a => 'foo', b => 'bar');
    print_R($test);
?>

So, it may be related to class constants?

The problem only occurs when the array is initialized in the variable declaration statement in the class AND class constants (with identical values) are used as keys.

According to <http://3v4l.org/ahcBe> this behavior has already 
been fixed with PHP 5.3.7.
