This is part of being a dynamically typed language aimed at the Web.
There are no types in an HTTP request. Everything comes across as
strings, or just data, if you will. PHP tries to make sense of that
data in the most logical way. This isn't going to change.
If you need stronger typing, you need to apply some logic on your own
to achieve that. Like keep a separate array for user-changeable
options, for example.

Description:
------------
It is necessary that I check to see if an array key has been set by the
code. Such as is with this code:
foreach($array as $key => $value){
if(is_int($key)) echo 'the code assigned a key for this element';
}
How can I achieve this with the following array?:
array('1'=>'Yes','0'=>'No');
PHP converts the '1' into 1 which leaves me no detection for user
assigned keys. This is bad form.
Reproduce code:
