Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-06-28 18:17:11] matutetandil at gmail dot com Description: ------------ Add generics support to PHP. So you can declare classes like this: class MyGenericClass<T> { private $object; public function __construct() { $this->object = new T(); } } or class MyGenericClass<T extends SuperTClass> { private $object; public function __construct() { $this->object = new T(); } } In the first case you can make a new (supposing that there is defined a B class): $a = new MyGenericClass<B>(); and in the second example you are forcing B to be a SuperTClass. I hope you can implement this feature! Is great!!! Expected result: ---------------- Generics included in a PHP relase. Actual result: -------------- No Generics support. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=65162&edit=1
