Hi,

The question is rather "is this value a string?", only with the added assumption that __toString() objects are treated as "string objects" and thus fulfill the condition (another reason why I went for an is_string() parameter).This is a faulty assumption. The presence of __toString() doesn't mean the object is a string, or intended to be used like one. -- Andrea Faulds https://ajf.me/
