Req #80208 [NEW]: Scalar pseudo-type (like Iterable)

From: divinity76 at gmail dot com Operating system: PHP version: Next Minor Version Package: Unknown/Other Function Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description:Scalar pseudo-type (like Iterable) Description: ------------ i suggest a scalar pseudo-type, much like Iterable, today if one wants to accept scalar arguments, one has to write something like: <?php function f($sc){ if(!is_string($sc) && !is_int($sc) && !is_float($sc) && !is_bool($sc)){ throw new \InvalidArgumentException('argument #1 ($sc) must be a scalar type'); } } class C{ public $sc; function set_sc($sc){ if(!is_string($sc) && !is_int($sc) && !is_float($sc) && !is_bool($sc)){ throw new \InvalidArgumentException('argument #1 ($sc) must be a scalar type'); } $this->sc = $sc; } } ?> luckily it gets easier in PHP8, <?php function f(string|int|float|bool $sc){ } class C{ public string|int|float|bool $sc } ?> even so, if there was a Scalar pseudo-type, i would use it. Test script: --------------- <?php declare(strict_types=1); function fun(Scalar $sc){ var_dump($sc); } fun(1); Expected result: ---------------- int(1) Actual result: -------------- Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: fun(): Argument #1 ($sc) must be of type Scalar, int given, called in /in/PDjNq on line 6 and defined in /in/PDjNq:3 Stack trace: #0 /in/PDjNq(6): fun(1) #1 {main} thrown in /in/PDjNq on line 3 Process exited with code 255. -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=80208&edit=1 -- Fix committed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=80208&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=80208&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=80208&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=80208&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=80208&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=80208&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=80208&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=80208&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=80208&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=80208&r=globals PHP version support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=80208&r=phptooold Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=80208&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=80208&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=80208&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=80208&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=80208&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=80208&r=mysqlcfg
