Well this is turning into a real flamefest.
Personally I really HATE the 5.3 implementation of "typehints" - heck
you can't even typehint arrays with an arrayobject instance, it's not
hinting in any way shape or form and is generally broken.
On the other hand I'd like to be able to have the same control of
parameters in my userland code that I do in extensions - namely the same
control I get with zend_parse_parameters. And the same errors/warnings
I get with zend_parse_parameters
Any reason we can't expose the logic included there into userland?
Would make internal functions and userland functions work the same and
act the same.
Anyway, at this point there's a lot of arguing and very little
consensus. I'm kind of tempted to say maybe all the people on the
internals mailing list are a bit myopic in their viewpoints, and maybe
this does need to get out to a wider community (php.general perhaps?)
since the guy hacking on a wordpress plugin is every bit as much a PHP
user as any of us.
Thanks,
