Type Hints with Null

Hello, attached is a patch (by Markus) that allows you to make typehints optionally take NULL as default value too, f.e.: class P { } class T { function f(P $p = NULL) { var_dump($p); } } $o=new T(); $o->f(new P); $o->f(NULL); $o->f(); I would like to commit this patch to HEAD pending any objections. regards, Derick -- Derick Rethans http://derickrethans.nl | http://ez.no | http://xdebug.org
