Doc #71363 [Opn]: No documentation on E_NOTICE for trailing characters with weak int/float hints

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=71363&edit=1 ID: 71363 Updated by: cmb@php.net Reported by: benjamin dot morel at gmail dot com Summary: No documentation on E_NOTICE for trailing characters with weak int/float hints Status: Open Type: Documentation Problem Package: Scripting Engine problem Operating System: Fedora 23 PHP Version: 7.0.2 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: The behavior is now precisely documented[1]. The type declarations section[2] could link to that, and should likely have a general subsection about "coercive typing".
