Re: [POC - Patch] Scalar Type Hinting - A-La zend_parse_parameters

Yes, like that, only better. Since automatic type casting is central in PHP, as this is evident after all this discussion, I believe that it should be better supported. There are two thinks that I would like to see here: 1. No more magic methods, please. 2. It should cover (eventually) casting to and from any type. :-) Lazare INEPOLOGLOU Ingénieur Logiciel 2012/3/9 Anthony Ferrara <ircmaxell@gmail.com> > > (Now, it would be nice to have another RFC about custom object casting to > > int, float and bool...) > > You mean like https://wiki.php.net/rfc/object_cast_to_types > which is > still in draft? > > Note that __toBool would be problematic, since it would be called if > the object was used in an if statement, which could yield some very > strange results if it returned false (it would break the existing > semantics about how we can use if statements to determine if the type > is populated)... > > Anthony >
