note 102827 added to language.oop5.typehinting

The following code posted has a problem when in E_STRICT mode. ------------------------------------------------------------------ For PHP 5.3 version and namespaces support. <?php function phpErrorHandler( $code, $message, $file, $line ) { if ( error_reporting() & $code ) { if ( $code == E_RECOVERABLE_ERROR ) { // Scalar Type-Hinting patch. $regexp = '/^Argument (\d)+ passed to (.+) must be an instance of (?<hint>.+), (?<given>.+) given/i' ; if ( preg_match( $regexp, $message, $match ) ) { $given = $match[ 'given' ] ; $hint = end( explode( '\\', $match[ 'hint' ] ) ) ; // namespaces support. if ( $hint == $given ) return true ; } } return false ; } } set_error_handler( 'phpErrorHandler' ) ; /************************************/ function typeHintTest( integer $arg1 ) { print_r( $arg1 ) ; } typeHintTest( true ) ; // Error throw because not integer type. ?> ------------------------------------------------------------------- I changed it to the following, which ensures that $exploded (we had directly passed it to end before) get's passed as a variable, by reference, and does not throw an error any longer. function phpErrorHandler($code, $message, $file, $line ) { /** * PHP is dumb and doesn't allow scalar type-hinting by default, even with PHP 5.3. * * This is a workaround. */ if ( error_reporting() & $code ) { if ( $code == E_RECOVERABLE_ERROR ) { // Scalar Type-Hinting patch. $regexp = '/^Argument (\d)+ passed to (.+) must be an instance of (?<hint>.+), (?<given>.+) given/i' ; if ( preg_match( $regexp, $message, $match ) ) { $given = $match[ 'given' ] ; $exploded = explode( '\\', $match[ 'hint' ] ); $hint = end( $exploded ) ; // namespaces support. if ( $hint == $given ) return true ; } } return false ; } } set_error_handler( 'phpErrorHandler' ) ; ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 71.36.175.246 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.typehinting.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/102827 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/102827/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/102827/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/102827/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/102827/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/102827/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/102827/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/102827 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/102827 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
