Description:
------------
wddx_serialize_value() produces bad wddx data when serializing an associative array.

This first started happening with PHP 4.4.3, so I suspect the fix for bug #37569 (WDDX incorrectly encodes high-ascii characters) probably broke it.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$data = array('foo' => 'bar');
print(wddx_serialize_value($data));
?>

Expected result:
----------------
<wddxPacket version='1.0'><header/><data><struct><var name='foo'><string>bar</string></var></struct></data></wddxPacket>

run through xml tidy to make it readable:

<wddxPacket version='1.0'>
  <header/>
  <data>
    <struct>
      <var name='foo'>
        <string>bar</string>
      </var>
    </struct>
  </data>
</wddxPacket>

Actual result:
--------------
<wddxPacket version='1.0'><header/><data><struct><va<string>bar</string></var></struct></data></wddxPacket>

run through xml tidy to make it readable:

<wddxPacket version='1.0'>
  <header/>
  <data>
    <struct>
      <va<string>bar</string></var>
    </struct>
  </data>
</wddxPacket>

Yes, that's fixed it - thank you.

For anyone else interested, this is the patch I'm bundling in our company RPM build of php 4.4.4 that fixes the issue:
