Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-06-28 17:42:45] tswicegood@php.net Description: ------------ In PHP 5.2.x calling (string)$object on an object w/o the __toString() method would cause a catchable fatal error and would halt execution. In PHP 5.3, the error is thrown but execution continues. This is the same behavior as PHP 5.1.4 - 5.1.6 (may be true for older versions as well, but I only tested back to 5.1.4). Reproduce code: --------------- <?php $o = new StdClass(); @(string)$o; echo "OK"; Expected result: ---------------- Unsure - possibly OK, possibly nothing. I'm not sure if 5.2.x or 5.1/5.3 behavior is correct. Actual result: -------------- OK ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=45387&edit=1
