PHP usually auto-converts data -- However it's possible that this
EXPERIMENTAL function (?) doesn't have the magic code down in the guts of
PHP.

So, try type-casting your third parameter to an (int):


> $currport = $servers[$key]['Port']; // was attempting this to see

$currport = (int) $servers[$key]['Port'];

echo "currport is: '$currport'<br />\n";


If this fixes it, file a bug report at http://bugs.php.net -- search for
the same issue first. It should get fixed pretty quick-like (relatively
speaking) if that's all it is.

It's also possible that your 'Port' is empty or something... That's why I
included the 'echo' -- Always hand-check the data you are sending when
weird things happen.

One line of debugging output can save hours of time and fistfuls of hair.
