note 84320 added to language.types.string

"String conversion is automatically done in the scope of an expression where a string is needed. This happens when using the echo() or print() functions, or when a variable is compared to a string." ord(), var_dump() and strlen() do not type cast to (string). I get your point, but the "strange behavior" is not strange at all, it's how PHP handles the string type in *context*. ---- Server IP: 117.104.160.194 Probable Submitter: 124.186.94.4 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/84320 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84320/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84320/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84320/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84320/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84320/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84320/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84320 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/84320 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
