I was asking myself if there was a good reason __toBool // __toInt NOT been present in my favorite language, It is sooooo coool beeing able to cast object as string resulting in a __toString() call I'll really love being able to class error extends exeption { __toBool(){return false; } } .... if((bool) $result ) echo "This is ok"; .. 131 - praying for a automatic method called at casting request.

I felt this would be a nice feature to have also. So, I added methods to my classes that would allow for this ability.

concurred; I recently made a class that turn's all objects into XML; and implented it in my __toString()'s :)
