Ok but if someone inputs an array in the query string i have a problem
Which problem? OK, you'd have string "Array" instead once you handle it. If it's a problem, then having "Array" from the start is a problem too.
with that. And I said standardized way, ie bool true outputs as "1",
float 5.20 outputs as "5.2". For objects, toString is a standardized
output but serialization is not, and for arrays no standardized output
exists.
Object serialization is very standardized, it has proper handlers, etc. As for outputting arrays, indeed, 'Array' is not very meaningful, but would "Incompatible type is call in function foo() /foo/bar.php line 123" be better?
