I think we need a new error reporting constant E_STUPID. This should catch stupid things I do like trying to embed an array into a string such as: $foo = array('a', 'b', 'c'); $query = "select * from foo where foo in ('$foo')"; It's been one of those days...

I've had a great day, but then I'm on leave this week ;) I don't think you're far wrong with this one. I really think trying to use an array as a string should raise a warning. It's easily done and having it spit out "Array" is less than helpful. I think the same should be true of resources except that you should be able to force a resource to a string with an explicit cast. Loose typing is great but there are some conversions that never really make sense. -Stut -- http://stut.net/
