So, what is the final conclusion on this one? Are we at a combination of Matt's and Dmitry's patches here?
I think we definitely need to fix this even in the 5.2 branch and get it back to 5.1.x and earlier behavior. I consider it a bug that: $arr[3500000000] = 'blah'; print_r($arr); results in: [-2147483648] => blah if someone has written brand new 5.2-specific code that relies on this weird behavior, then we will just have to bite the bullet and break that code. It is way more likely that people are relying on the earlier behavior and will end up with subtle problems in 5.2. I just had someone at Yahoo get bitten by this when they upgraded from 5.1.x to 5.2.x. -Rasmus -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
