Ohh gee wiz... Well odds are that you would not want the value to increase by zero, when the intention was to increase with anything but zero. Would type hinting help? Well, it would efficiently assure that the value passed into it was a number and thus the resulted would not get screwed because we assumed PHP's type juggling would save the day. Honestly Stanislav, do you even care or read what people write to or is it your intension only to knit-pick and and be a thicky? Here is the short version for you. Yes, we all agree that there are existing workarounds to having scalar values typed hinted. Just like we could have workarounds for the missing OO features in PHP 4? This does not invalidate the need for either feature. Tomi Kaistila PHP Developer
