Seems like the RuleLevelHelper::findTypeToCheck was not used at all (or wrongly used) on theses rules.

So I fixed it and added tests with and without the reportArrayKeyCast option.

Current status, waiting #4166 first

Friendly ping @ondrejmirtes ; I would be interested enabling this on phpstan-strict-rules :)

So now this is only about the boolean. I don't think it's worth it adding a new config parameter just for that. Maybe it'd be better to advocate for deprecating that in PHP 8.6?

So now this is only about the boolean. I don't think it's worth it adding a new config parameter just for that.

It's for boolean or people which are using PHP < 8.5 (8.1) and still want the array key casted deprecated.
Since PHP supports 7.4 it might have some benefit.

Also I feel like waiting for 8.6 might be a little bit long for an important bug like the example of phpstan/phpstan#12589 ...

It's would still be a good idea but I have no knowledge in C to implement this in PHP codebase

So deprecating bools was considered but rejected in the RFC process. Here's the comment and some discussion above it https://externals.io/message/127849#128184.

Then based on the fact it will be unlikely deprecated soon on PHP side, do you confirm that such options still make sens on PHPStan side ?

I don't like the name of the config parameter. You're not reporting array key casts. For example if someone uses '1', you're not reporting that although it's still cast to 1.

This is more like allowFloatBoolNullAsArrayKey with default set to true.

I renamed with allowFloatBoolNullAsArrayKey, but have some suggestions:

• allowBoolFloatNullAsArrayKey => Type are alphabetically ordered
• allowLooseArrayKeys
• strictArrayKeyTypes (default false)

Any preferences ?

Just found the issue phpstan/phpstan#7564 and I wonder if it should be included in this option or in a separate one.

If so, rather than introducing allowFloatBoolNull param in AllowedArrayKeysTypes it could be something like checking if

$type->toArrayKeyType()->isSuperTypeOf($type)->yes();

(to avoid reporting numeric-string array keys)

Maybe you'll have some suggestion about the naming @staabm ?

I would go with one of the allowFloatBoolNullAsArrayKey variants, as otherwise we need to document somewhere what "loose" or "strict" means in this context
