What about scalar type declaration in userland? namespace mytypes; declare scalartype amount($amount) { if (!is_int($amount) && !is_float($amount)) { throw new InvalidArgumentException('Argument amount must be of the type int|float, '.gettype($amount).' given'); } } function addVat(mytypes\amount $amount) { return round($amount*1.19, 2); } addVat(42) // OK addVat("42") // OK addVat(-42) // OK addVat(42.0) // OK addVat(true) // Exception var mytypes\amount $amount = 0; $amount = 42; // OK $amount = "42"; // OK $amount = true; // Exception tschuess [|8:) -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
