This is a toughy I've been working over for a bit. I was wondering if there is a way to cause objects to have certain behaviors when builtin functions are called, or maybe a way of setting, for example, a "primary" string which is used whenever a function requiring a string calls it.
Take a look at http://www.php.net/php5, section "Magic Methods" In your case the __toString() method would be valuable... Regards Thorsten Suckow-Homberg
