ID: 51430 Updated by: tony2...@php.net Reported by: will at flourishlib dot com Summary: Numeric string array key is being implicitly cast to 32bit int and overflowing -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Type: Bug Package: Scripting Engine problem Operating System: Fedora 12 PHP Version: 5.3.2 New Comment: Not reproducible with 5.3.2, 5.3.3-dev and trunk on 64bit Linux. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-03-29 20:18:41] will at flourishlib dot com Description: ------------ When trying to use a string array key that contains a number outside of the 32bit integer range, the key is being cast to an integer implicitly by PHP and is overflowing the 32bit integer limits. This incorrect casting is present in both 5.3.1 and 5.3.2 (probably 5.3.0), however 5.1.6 through 5.2.13 do not perform this implicit casting. The manual indicates that an integer-like key will be cast to an integer, however that should not be the case when the integer will not losslessly cast, since that can cause keys to be overwritten. Test script: --------------- print_r(array("-2147483649" => TRUE, "-2147483648" => FALSE)); print_r(array("-2147483649" => 1, "-2147483648" => 2, "2147483647" => 3, "2147483648" => 4)); Expected result: ---------------- Array ( [-2147483649] => 1 [-2147483648] => ) Array ( [-2147483649] => 1 [-2147483648] => 2 [2147483647] => 3 [2147483648] => 4 ) Actual result: -------------- Array ( [2147483647] => 1 [-2147483648] => ) Array ( [2147483647] => 3 [-2147483648] => 4 ) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51430&edit=1
