Re: [RFC] Allow ::class on objects

Hi! > If it could return string, that'd be super useful! Would it? There's no class "string". So for all purposes other than printing out, that would be a pretty big footgun. > We have tons of lines of code that look like: is_object($foo) ? > get_class($foo) : gettype($foo) > Getting rid of them would be very sweet ! It could be useful to have generic function for describing objects, but that's not what ::class should be doing. It should not return things which aren't classes. -- Stas Malyshev smalyshev@gmail.com
