Re: Implementation (simple!) operator overloading

Well actually, you can do some funny stuff adding and substracting (property) strings.. ($object->string = $object - 10) (I'm kinda working on the $object -= 10; ) Bout the type thing, well you can imagine types right.. Anyway, I see there isn't much interest for it, so it was a nice exercise anyways.. I'm interested in improving PHP's OO capabilities but I get the feeling OO is not really wanted in PHP by the developers in here, this true?
