Because resources are not objects. Resources are their own type and so don't pass the object type check. > will it be fixed in future versions of php? Yes, but not by making resource pass the object type check. There is an on-going effort to replace all resource types with opaque objects. There is a list of the progress here: https://github.com/php/php-tasks/issues/6 So at some point proc_open(..) will be changed from returning a resource, to returning a 'Proc' or 'Process' object.
