Re: GMP object and is_scalar()

Hi! > Should it? PHP is weakly typed language. That doesn't mean types do not exist. That means values can be converted from type to type, but there's no type "scalar" - it is just a group name of a set of types. > One thing clear to me is users expects GMP numbers behave like > scalar numbers most likely. I don't think users expect anything like that, I don't see legitimate use case why users would expect is_scalar return true on GMP object. If the user is advanced enough to use is_scalar he should understand what that function does. Or user some other function that is more fit for their goals. > Yet another option for PHP 5.6 is to note GMP numbers as > EXPERIMENTAL. GMP is in PHP for a long time, why would it suddenly become experimental? -- Stanislav Malyshev, Software Architect SugarCRM: http://www.sugarcrm.com/ (408)454-6900 ext. 227
