Description:
------------
Please run the test script!

Test script:
---------------
require_once("Config.php");
$new_cfg = array(
5=>array(54=>'5aaa',52=>'5bbb',56=>'56c',59=>'59c'),
7=>70,
3=>array(31=>'test3.0','test3.1',30=>'test3.2','test3.3')
);
$c = new Config();
$root =& $c->parseConfig($new_cfg, 'phparray');
echo '<pre>';
print_r($new_cfg);
echo '<hr>' . $root->toString('phparray', array('name' => 'new_cfg')) .'</pre>';

exit();

Expected result:
----------------
var_dump($new_cfg):
=================================
Array
(
[5] => Array
(
[54] => 5aaa
[52] => 5bbb
[56] => 56c
[59] => 59c
)

[7] => 70
[3] => Array
(
[31] => test3.0
[32] => test3.1
[30] => test3.2
[33] => test3.3
)

)

Actual result:
--------------
$new_cfg['5'][0] = '5aaa';
$new_cfg['5'][1] = '5bbb';
$new_cfg['5'][2] = '56c';
$new_cfg['5'][3] = '59c';
$new_cfg['7'] = 70;
$new_cfg['3'][0] = 'test3.0';
$new_cfg['3'][1] = 'test3.1';
$new_cfg['3'][2] = 'test3.2';
$new_cfg['3'][3] = 'test3.3';

I don't believe this can be fixed without breaking required behaviour for converting between Container types.

If you change your keys to strings:
$new_cfg = array(
'5' => array('54' => '5aaa', '52' => '5bbb', '56' => '56c', '59' => '59c'),
'7' => 70,
'3' => array('31' => 'test3.0', 'test3.1', '30' => 'test3.2', 'test3.3')
);

it should behave as expected.

The current behaviour is required for handling conversion to containers that can have multiple sections of the same name. These sections are converted to an integer based array for representation in the PHPArray backend.
