Hi!
If you talk about consistency, you should remember that right now no function and no feature in PHP relies on strict checking of primitive types.
That is not the case (or I am very much mistaken). In particular, is_int, which I mentioned in my email, is predicated on the IS_LONG type only.
Read that "no function except for a tiny handful of very special cases like is_* and serializes and probably one or two other functions that I forgot", ok? -- Stanislav Malyshev, Zend Software Architect stas@zend.com http://www.zend.com/ (408)253-8829 MSN: stas@zend.com
