Description:
------------
I have a wddx file:

                          <var name="CMS_BUILD">
                            <string>desc</string>
                          </var>
                        </struct>
                      </var>
                    </struct>
                  </var>
                </struct>

        </struct>
      </var>
    </struct>
  </data>
</wddxpacket>

and load it with the function "wddx_deserialize" in $config. 
var_dump outputs different arrays in php-4.4.0 and 
php-4.4.1.

["113301888545229100"] (4.4.0) and [2147483647] (4.4.1) are 
not the same (string vs. int).

i used exact the same configuration for compiling and 
checked it with debian sarge on linux and macosx too.

Reproduce code:
---------------
[...]

if ( !( $filepointer = @fopen( $filename, 'r' ) ) ) {
	return false;
}
while ( !feof( $filepointer) ) {
	$data .= fgets( $filepointer, 4096 );
}
fclose( $filepointer );

if ( $data ) {	

	$config = wddx_deserialize( $data );
	
[...]

Expected result:
----------------
[...]
  ["content_queries"]=>
  array(1) {
    ["content_113300831086270200"]=>
    array(1) {
      ["113301888545229100"]=>
      array(3) {
        ["max"]=>
        int(10)
        ["cache"]=>
        int(4)
        ["order"]=>
        array(1) {
          ["content_113300831086270200"]=>
          array(1) {
            ["CMS_BUILD"]=>
            string(4) "desc"
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
[...]

Actual result:
--------------
[...]
  ["content_queries"]=>
  array(1) {
    ["content_113300831086270200"]=>
    array(1) {
      [2147483647]=> 
[...]

2147483647 is not right...

PHP 5.1.0 on Linux compiled with ./configure --enable-wddx gives me the following results that are again different from the 4.4.1 and 4.4.0 results:

array(1) {
  ["content_queries"]=>
  array(1) {
    ["content_113300831086270200"]=>
    array(1) {
      [-2147483648]=>
      array(3) {
        ["max"]=>
        int(10)
        ["cache"]=>
        int(4)
        ["order"]=>
        array(1) {
          ["content_113300831086270200"]=>
          array(1) {
            ["CMS_BUILD"]=>
            string(4) "desc"
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

PHP 5.0.4/5.0.5 on mac and 5.0.5 on linux outputs the same 
like 4.4.0. I guess, this behavior beguns with the "fast" 
fixes of PHP file-upload/$GLOBALS overwrite vulnerability, but 
i'm not shure, or another fix introduced in 4.4.1. maybe the 
xml-parser thinks, oh its a number, not a string and convert 
it to integer, but its out of range... i know only, my php-app 
worked over years :o)

I looked into this a bit deeper and it appears that the behaviour changed when fixing #34068.  The patch can be seen at http://cvs.php.net/diff.php/php-src/ext/wddx/wddx.c?ws=0&r1=1.119&r2=1.120&ty=u.

what does it mean? a bug or a new "feature"? feature because 
you wrote "the behaviour changed" ...
 [2005-11-30 17:04 UTC] sniper@php.net
Assigned to the one who broke it. :)
 [2005-11-30 19:13 UTC] iliaa@php.net
This bug has been fixed in CVS.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.
