#43456 [NEW]: forcing type of variable in class

From: kjarli at gmail dot com Operating system: PHP version: 5.2.5 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: forcing type of variable in class Description: ------------ Why not adding something like this in classes: public $array:Array; private $bool:Bool = false; protected $number:Number = 40; var $string:String = 'a text'; This is like forcing a variable into a bool, array, number etc. This should be pure for classes only. Assigning an array value to like a :Number, will cause a notice error. This is usefull for 1. Debugging 2. accessing public values 3. If you are working with more than 1 person, your class won't get messed up. 4. if you use like :Number, and you insert '10', it can force it into a number. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=43456&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43456&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43456&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43456&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43456&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43456&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43456&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43456&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43456&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43456&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43456&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43456&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43456&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43456&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43456&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43456&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43456&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43456&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43456&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43456&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43456&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43456&r=mysqlcfg
