Description: ------------ in xml_wddx 1.0.1: a string of numbers with a preceeding zero, ie. "0677", is automatically converted to type "number" at serialization, thus eliminating the zero. the code that explicitly casts strings of digits to numbers is located on line 102 and reads: if ( is_numeric ($value) && (intval(0+$value) == $value) ) return "<number>$value</number>"; this bug occurrs even if the string of digits is explicitly cast as a string prior to serialization. grant horwood Test script: --------------- require_once "XML/Wddx.php"; $wddx_parser = new XML_Wddx(); $test_array = array((string)"098", (string)"0098", "0098R"); print_r($test_array); $some_wddx = $wddx_parser->serialize($test_array); print_r($some_wddx); $back_test_array = $wddx_parser->deserialize($some_wddx); print_r($back_test_array); Expected result: ---------------- Array ( [0] => 098 [1] => 0098 [2] => 0098R ) <wddxPacket version='1.0'><header/><data> <array length='3'> <string>098</string> <string>0098</string> <string>0098R</string> </array> </data></wddxPacket> Array ( [0] => 098 [1] => 0098 [2] => 0098R ) Actual result: -------------- Array ( [0] => 098 [1] => 0098 [2] => 0098R ) <wddxPacket version='1.0'><header/><data> <array length='3'> <number>098</number> <number>0098</number> <string>0098R</string> </array> </data></wddxPacket> Array ( [0] => 98 <- where are my zeroes? [1] => 98 [2] => 0098R )

This bug has been fixed in CVS. In case this was a documentation problem, the fix will show up at the end of next Sunday (CET) on pear.php.net. In case this was a pear.php.net website problem, the change will show up on the website in short time. Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PEAR better.
