Description:
------------
Hello,

I've found an error in the keys of an array. If I have a JSON-String and decode it with json_decode and cast the returned value in an array then I get NULL trying to access an array entry (eg array[1]). The return value should however be a stdClass object.

Yours sincerely,
Arne Göbel

Test script:
---------------
$jstr = '{"1": {"anzahl": "", "preis": "", "einheit": "", "beschreibung": "", "mwst": ""}, "2": {"anzahl": "22", "preis": "3", "einheit": "", "beschreibung": "", "mwst": ""}, "3": {"anzahl": "12", "preis": "22", "einheit": "", "beschreibung": "", "mwst": ""}, "4": {"anzahl": "", "preis": "", "einheit": "", "beschreibung": "", "mwst": ""}}';

$array = (array) json_decode($jstr);

echo '<pre>';
var_dump($array[2], $array);

echo phpversion();


Expected result:
----------------
array(
"2" => stdClass object
public anzahl = "22"
public preis = "3"
public einheit = ""
public beschreibung = ""
public mwst = ""
)

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

Hi, just passing by. I don't know why it does that but here's a more complete test that does not require JSON:

------------
error_reporting(-1);

//$obj = json_decode('{"2":123}');
$obj = new stdClass();
$obj->{"2"} = 123;

var_dump($obj->{2}, $obj->{"2"}, $obj);

$array = (array)$obj;
var_dump($array[2], $array["2"], $array);
------------

It can access the int(123) via both 2 and "2" on the object, but even though the array var_dump shows the "2" key to be present, and it can be iterated, both [2] and ["2"] complain the offset/index is undefined.
