I agree. If the developer explicitly states they want conversion, it should be conversion. For implicit casts, some tightening may be ok, but for explicit ones I think it would bring much more headaches than it's worth. -- Stanislav Malyshev, Software Architect SugarCRM: http://www.sugarcrm.com/ -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
