Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2018-08-22 02:31:19] carusogabriel@php.net An RFC about this topic has been opened: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/typed_properties_v2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-11-29 16:55:05] kjarli at gmail dot com 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 this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=43456&edit=1
