note 114499 added to function.is-string

Using is_string() on an object will always return false (even with __toString()). <?php class B { public function __toString() { return "Instances of B() can be treated as a strings!\n"; } } $b = new B(); print($b); //Instances of B() can be treated as a strings! print(is_string($b) ? 'true' : 'false'); //false ?> ---- Server IP: 83.137.20.135 Probable Submitter: 64.1.208.234 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/function.is-string.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/114499 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/114499/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/114499/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/114499/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/114499/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/114499/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/114499/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/114499 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/114499 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
