note 97565 added to language.types.resource

It is always wrong to assume that some operation, like casting to a resource makes no sense. People will always find some extreme case where it would be useful; like the previous example with mysql. My problem was that I wanted to start daemons from a web interface but the apache filehandles were inherited which caused that apache was unable to restart. If I could only typecast a number to a filehandle and then close it... Instead I had to write a small C program that closes every filehandle and then starts my program. I surely miss Apache2::SubProcess from perl. (Also, in perl you can reopen a file and then close it using IO::Handle module's fdopen. I'm just saying.) ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 82.79.50.10 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.resource.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/97565 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97565/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97565/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97565/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97565/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97565/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97565/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97565 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/97565 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
