Well, about "number" type hint. How this would work, in combination with strict types? function bar(float $f) {
     return $f * 1.23;
} function foo(number $x) {
     return bar($x);
} foo(1); From my understanding, it wouldn't?

This particular example would break with strict types as 1 is not a float, but then it's the fault of whoever wrote the function foo, that accepts a "number" and uses it to call one only accepting floats. Cheers -- Matteo Beccati Development & Consulting - http://www.beccati.com/
