Description:
------------
object numeric's name properties are cast in string array's index.
created indexes becomes not accessible.

Reproduce code:
---------------
#5.2.7.-DEV on 2007-06-24
# WANTED => cast object to array and access first element with 0 index
#RESULT => the array key with the  index '0' is nor accessible by 0 or "0", uncool ...
#?PROBLEM? => Shouldn't the array key needs to be numeric instead of a string  after object to array cast ?
$stdclass = neW StdcLaSs() ;
$stdclass->{0} = 'index0' ;
$stdclassElement =  (arRaY)$stdclass ;
$var = array_keys( $stdclassElement ) ;
$key = $var [ 0 ] ;
Echo 
		'$stdclassElement[ $key ] :: ' , $stdclassElement[ $key ] ,
		'$stdclassElement[0] :: ' , $stdclassElement[ 0 ] ,
		'$stdclassElement["0"] :: ', $stdclassElement['0']
	;

Expected result:
----------------
acess neither to array index '0' by [0] or ["0"]

Actual result:
--------------

Here is a minimal test case:

<?php
$obj = new stdClass();
$obj->{0} = 'foo';
$obj->{'1'} = 'bar';
$obj->{'x'} = 'baz';

$array = (array)$obj;

var_dump($array[0]);
var_dump($array['1']);
var_dump($array['x']);

?>

Expected result:
---------------
string(3) "foo"
string(3) "bar"
string(3) "baz"

Actual result:
--------------
NULL
NULL
string(3) "baz"

If you compare var_dump((array)$obj) as defined above with 
var_dump(array(0 => 'foo', '1' => 'bar', 'x' => 'baz')), you can see 
that the numeric array keys are stored as strings rather than 
integers, which causes the array lookups to fail.

(PS: The above developer's response reads like a standard copy/paste 
reply that ignores the fact that example code was already supplied. If 
the example was insufficient or unclear, at least take 5 seconds to 
explain why. The way this bug report is now, it does not help anyone.)

Hi,

Sorry for embedding huge scripts into the report.

I submit you the new test code with open and close tags :

<?php

$stdclass = neW StdcLaSs() ;
$stdclass->{0} = 'index0' ;
$stdclassElement =  (arRaY)$stdclass ;
$var = array_keys( $stdclassElement ) ;
$key = $var [ 0 ] ;
Echo 
		'$stdclassElement[ $key ] :: ' , $stdclassElement[ $key ] ,
		'$stdclassElement[0] :: ' , $stdclassElement[ 0 ] ,
		'$stdclassElement["0"] :: ', $stdclassElement['0']
	;
?>

Hope it's gonna be more useful.

Do I have to submit the bug again under a new Id or it's gonna be find like that ?

Regards,

Xavier
