note 73058 added to language.oop5.typehinting

In response to nicholas at nicholaswilliams dot info: Of course this doesn't work. Not in Php nor in Java. You can't put a Chair into Table just because there both implementing "Object" It wouldn't make any sense to say "i'm expecting an argument that implements the same object that i'm implementing" with type hinting. You say: "I'm expection an Object of that Class or a Object of a Subclass of that Class " like you do in every OO languange. ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 212.202.71.199 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.typehinting.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/73058 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73058/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73058/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73058/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73058/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73058/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73058/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73058 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/73058 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
