Fixed, there were a few things that were 32-bit specific
in the code.

As for why the string is being converted to a number,
this is how PHP works.  If a string index appears to
be numeric, it is automatically converted to be numeric,
in order to prevent $foo["7"] from being different
from $foo[7] (which is something you really don't want,
trust me)
