note 101896 added to language.oop5.typehinting

If you are have a namespaced interface that uses type-hinting, please make sure that your type-hints are fully-qualified, *even* if the types are primitive. NOTE: The following example uses regular slashes for namespaces rather than backslashes, because the note system does not seem to render backslashes. File A: <?php namespace NS1; interface IFoo { public function DoSomething( /int $arg ); } ?> File B: <?php namespace NS2; class Foo implements /NS1/IFoo { public function DoSomething( /int $arg ); } ?> Note that I had to use the "\" global namespace prefix on the "int" type hints. Failure to do so will raise an incompatibility error. This does not appear to be necessary for the "array" basic type, which strikes me as a bug, or at least a flagrant inconsistency. FYI, I'm using PHP 5.3.1. ---- Server IP: 208.69.120.55 Probable Submitter: 76.95.102.56 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.typehinting.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/101896 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/101896/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/101896/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/101896/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/101896/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/101896/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/101896/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/101896 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/101896 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
