Description:
------------
See: 
bug #28435 array_count_values() problem
http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.array.php

array_count_values() casts numeric strings (i.e. "72") to integers (72).  This is correct (although annoying) behavior as described at http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.array.php, except for one catch.

The documentation states (emphasis mine)
"If a key is the standard representation of an integer, it will be interpreted as such (i.e. "8" will be interpreted as 8, ***while "08" will be interpreted as "08"***).

However, array_count_values() will strip the leading zeroes and turn those strings into integers, which causes errors in  code later on when (string) 8  is compared against (string) "08" and the comparison fails.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
var_dump(array_count_values(array("012345")));


Expected result:
----------------
array(1) {
  ["012345"]=>
  int(1)
}


Actual result:
--------------
array(1) {
  [12345]=>
  int(1)
}

For what it's worth, *this* works:

var_dump(array("012345" => 'yay'));
array(1) {
  ["012345"]=>
  string(3) "yay"
}

so it looks like it's an issue with array_count_values() itself and not something at a deeper level.

Please do not submit the same bug more than once. An existing
bug report already describes this very problem. Even if you feel
that your issue is somewhat different, the resolution is likely
to be the same. 

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

Please *always* try latest snapshot before reporting a bug.
See bug #30833.
