CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER or CURLOPT_QUOTE or CURLOPT_HTTP200ALIASES or CURLOPT_POSTQUOTE or CURLOPT_PREQUOTE or CURLOPT_TELNETOPTIONS or CURLOPT_MAIL_RCPT or CURLOPT_RESOLVE has the sample problem, also modify the type of param 

Test script:
---------------
$ch = curl_init();
$header = array('a' => 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $header);
var_dump($header['a']);                               
curl_close($ch);

Expected result:
----------------
int(1)

Actual result:
--------------
string(1) "1"

FWIW, this has been fixed in PHP 7.0

Closing, since PHP 5 is out of active support, and the issue has
already been fixed as of PHP 7.0.0.
