    i'm for removing the __string_value() call alltogether!
<aol>me too!</aol> But won't this break someone's scripts? As far as I see, this thing is there for pretty long time, not (for a year at least)?
It's been around for about half a year. I don't see any real downsides to it, other than having to explain that it's *NOT* an underpowered operator overloading which suggests we'll go towards this area in the future, but rather, a handy facility to debug object code.
But at the very least, the __string_value should be fixed not to crash on non-string values!
It probably just doesn't convert it to a string. Zeev -- Zeev Suraski <zeev@zend.com> http://www.zend.com/
