Request #71208 Array/Object cast should not loose numeric property/element accessibility
Submitted: 2015-12-23 23:50 UTC Modified: 2016-09-24 01:12 UTC
From: ajf@php.net Assigned: ajf (profile)
Status: Duplicate Package: Scripting Engine problem
PHP Version: 7.0.1 OS: OS X 10.11 El Capitan
Private report: No CVE-ID: None
 [2015-12-23 23:50 UTC] ajf@php.net
Description:
------------
If an array is casted to an object, its integer keys become inaccessible integer(!) key properties. They should be normal string key properties instead.

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

$arr = [1, 2, 4];
$obj = (object)$arr;

var_dump($obj);
var_dump($obj->{1}, $obj->{2}, $obj->{3});
var_dump($obj->{'1'}, $obj->{'2'}, $obj->{'3'});

?>

Expected result:
----------------
object(stdClass)#1 (3) {
  ["0"]=>
  int(1)
  ["1"]=>
  int(2)
  ["2"]=>
  int(4)
}
int(1)
int(2)
int(4)
int(1)
int(2)
int(4)

Actual result:
--------------
object(stdClass)#1 (3) {
  [0]=>
  int(1)
  [1]=>
  int(2)
  [2]=>
  int(4)
}

This has been broken since at least PHP 5.4.

Er, the test script has an off-by-one error. It should be:

<?php

$arr = [1, 2, 4];
$obj = (object)$arr;

var_dump($obj);
var_dump($obj->{0}, $obj->{1}, $obj->{2});
var_dump($obj->{'0'}, $obj->{'1'}, $obj->{'2'});

?>

For the record: this issue had already been reported as bug
#53838, which had been suspended, and as bug #61655, which has
been marked as not-a-bug, because of performance issues.

So that's probably something that would have to be discussed on
internals, if that hadn't already happened.

It behaves this way as of PHP 5.0.0, and didn't work earlier at
all, see <https://3v4l.org/55kiC>.

Well, actually this is a duplicate of bug #66173.

It's not a duplicate of bug #66173, it's a deliberate counterpart to it.
