Description:
------------
When SoapClient is passed an undefined variable in the connection_timeout hash key, it seems that all global variables are initialized to 0.  

I can reproduce this on multiple linux distributions and PHP versions.  I can also repro it using any WSDL.  It only happens when connection_timeout is set to an uninitialized variable, I am not able to reproduce it in any other case.  I discovered it by accident but figured I'd report it due to the unusual and seemingly wide impact of the resultant behavior.


Test script:
---------------
$myi = null;
print 'Before: myi->foo=' . $myi->foo . ' fakevar=' . $fakevar . ' fakeobj->prop=' . $fakeobj->prop . "\n";

$url = 'http://soap.amazon.com/schemas2/AmazonWebServices.wsdl';
$sc = new SoapClient($url,
  array(
    'connection_timeout'=>$foo
  )
);

print 'After: myi->foo=' . $myi->foo . ' fakevar=' . $fakevar . ' fakeobj->prop=' . $fakeobj->prop . "\n";


Expected result:
----------------
 myi->foo= fakevar= fakeobj->prop=

Actual result:
--------------
 myi->foo=0 fakevar=0 fakeobj->prop=0

I confirm this bug.

Linux CentOS PHP 5.4.20 affected
Linux Fentoo PHP 5.3.18 also affected

It was very hard to locate this bug.

Also we see this behavior:

If try access to sub-element of non-existent array, then parent array initialize to 0.

Test script:
--------------
#$_SESSION['application'] = array();
$_SESSION['application']['id'] = 123;

Expected result:
--------------
array(
'application'=>array('id'=>1)
)

Actual result:
--------------
array(
 'application'=>0
)

I cannot reproduce this with PHP-7.4.  Can anybody else still
reproduce this with any of the actively supported PHP versions[1]?

At this point, if you can't repro it I'd just close it. The bug is so old and could've been a manifestation of something long since fixed. I do appreciate you attempting to reproduce it.
