Description:
------------
When you try to typecast the values of an array such as 
$myArray=array_map("(string)",$myArray)
transforms $myArray into NULL

Test script:
---------------
$myArray=array(123,246);
$myArray=array_map("(string)",$myArray);


Expected result:
----------------
$myArray=array("123","246");

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

The cast itself is not a function. Using strval you can accomplish what you are looking for.

$myArray=array_map("strval",$myArray);
