#29295 [Opn->Bgs]: die() does not call $obj->__toString()

ID: 29295 Updated by: helly@php.net Reported By: scm2tj at cs dot cf dot ac dot uk -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Feature/Change Request PHP Version: 5.0.0 New Comment: Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php In 5.0.x __toString() will only be called automatically for print/echo. Maybe we will change that for 5.1.x if we find out how.

I understand there are problems with concatenation, but in this instance, just the object is being passed. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php class Foobar { public function __toString() { return "Foo"; } } $bar = new Foobar; die($bar); ?> Expected result: ---------------- Foo Actual result: -------------- Object id #1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=29295&edit=1
