Re: Multi-Method Dispatch in PHP 5.1?

Just a note, Would "Object" be more appropriate than "Class"? The expected variable type is an object (defined by a class), and the gettype() function returns 'object'.. # php -r '$x=new stdclass(); var_dump(gettype($x));' string(6) "object" It may mean adding a new reserved word though. ~Jason At 4/22/2004 01:29 AM +0200, Marcus Boerger wrote:

Hello Andi, the patch is here. It's a bit outdated but shouldn't cause much problems to apply after RC2. It allows "Class", "Array" but atm misses "Resource". marcus Wednesday, April 21, 2004, 11:50:46 AM, you wrote: At 03:29 PM 4/20/2004 -0400, George Schlossnagle wrote:

The problem with this is that that integer may well be a string when you look at it. There's no good way to do this past discriminating between scalar, array and object (by type, of course). I personally think that that is fine (adding an array typehint would be nice).

Somewhere at my server should be a patch for "array". For some reason i was too lazy to ask for that to commit again before RC1. I you still want this just ask Andi/Zeev again.

Andi/Zeev, Thoughts on allowing array typehinting?

I don't have a problem with array type hinting but I want to roll RC2. I suggest we look at Marcus' patch after RC2 and see if it's small enough to allow the inclusion before 5.0.0. Andi -- Best regards,
