RE: [PHP-DEV] Accept null type hint in C

Thanks guys, the O! works as expected. It didn't need the | since I actually want to force a parameter to be sent even if it is null. I did think it was weird that the parse_parameter functions set the zval* passed in to NULL instead of setting the value/type of the zval to IS_NULL. This took a bit to debug since it is kinda outta step with the way Zend handles zvals elsewhere. BTW Marcus, nice work on the SPL stuff.
