Re: Re: RE : [PHP-DEV] Return type hinting patch

You have added is_int, is_numeric, and === operator. I've been reading your posts and you should really stop confusing using that argument. Truth is, types are relevant. $foo = 1; $bar = '1'; if($foo === $bar) { echo "I am never echo'ed"; } Until you make $foo === $bar, you should really stop telling everyone how strict param/return types have no place in php. -Chris On Wed, Apr 30, 2008 at 9:36 AM, Stanislav Malyshev <stas@zend.com> wrote: > Hi! > > Right, return type hinting is useless in such cases, but it is > > interesting when we check whether a method is compatible with an > > implemented interface or an extended/abstract class.
