Description:
------------
addTask and the other five functions like it don't do any sort of type checking or conversion.

https://github.com/hjr3/pecl-gearman/blob/master/php_gearman.c#L2327

Using Z_STRVAL_P on a non-string can have unexpected results including segfaults. These functions should all probably be checking if Z_TYPE_P(zworkload) != IS_STRING) and throw a warning/return false or do implicit type conversion to strings.

Test script:
---------------
<?php

$gearman = new \GearmanClient();
$gearman->addServers('127.0.0.1:4730');
$gearman->addTask('crash', array('data' => 'overflow'));
$gearman->runTasks();

Expected result:
----------------
Warning: addTask() expects parameter 2 to be string, array given in X on line X

Actual result:
--------------
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 18446744073365895129 bytes) in /tmp/gearman.php on line 6

The gearman extension have not had much activity in the past few years, so I'm taking the safe bet that this is no longer under active development (as I don't consider the typo fixes on the github repo an active development), besides that it also targets unsupported PHP versions. Please unsuspend this report in case it begins to blossom with life once more
