I can't reproduce that: <https://3v4l.org/6p5r1>.

Please specify the exact version of PHP you're using, which
zend_extensions are enabled, and your OS.

It's an opcache optimizer problem. Wrap it in a function to reproduce:

<?php
function test() {
    $a = 23;
    $a = array($a);
    print_r($a);
}
test();
