Description:
------------
Several tag keys are converted to an integer value (0 or 1) when the key can be interpreted as a boolean (like y, yes, true, off, no). This only happens when the tag is not quoted.

Test script:
---------------
<?php
$yaml = <<<YAML
- 
  x: 147
  y: 85
  z: 176
YAML;
var_dump(yaml_parse($yaml));

Expected result:
----------------
array(2) {
  [0]=>
  array(3) {
    ["x"]=>
    int(147)
    ["y"]=>
    int(85)
    ["z"]=>
    int(176)
  }
}

Actual result:
--------------
array(2) {
  [0]=>
  array(3) {
    ["x"]=>
    int(147)
    [1]=>
    int(85)
    ["z"]=>
    int(176)
  }
}

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

I believe that this is actually the correct behavior according to the YAML 1.1 spec. Keys in a YAML mapping can be any type and the unquoted scalar strings listed at http://yaml.org/type/bool.html are treated as booleans. The mapping you give in your example is equivalent to `array( "x" => 147, true => 85, "z" => 176 )` which var_dump() describes in the same way as your actual result.
