Not really. Class type-hinting is not strict. The only reason why it looks strict is, that PHP doesn't provide userland ways for object-casting. As far as I remember, zend-engine, underneath, actually has hook for casting. And nothing stops us from supporting such casting with hints, eventually. -- Alexey Zakhlestin http://www.milkfarmsoft.com/ -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
