I agree. I added to the RFC a table with the current behavior of current behavior of zend_parse_parameters (not sure if I should, feel free to move it elsewhere). There are many differences between two. I think the conversions should either be the same or it should be strict. Are users supposed to distinguish "string" as it appears in the documentation from this new "string" in the functions' declaration? Adding another inconsistency to PHP is not a very good idea, in my opinion. -- Gustavo Lopes -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
