BUT ... While Coercive Type Rules don't actually cast, they fail in different ways to what the cast would have been, so someone who HAS cast the value before calling then fails simply because the rules are different? I have never used things like 100kg, and I don't see an easy way to convert that to perhaps 100000 gms, but it is a basic part of current PHP so ANY dilution of that should be covered properly. Introducing new rules should mirror across all relevant areas, and I find this a big negative to Coercive STH. But Strict STH is equally bad since again it is not equally applied across all code. One 'cherry picks' when to switch on Strict, one changes the rules that don't fit for Coercive. Neither deserve acceptance because both are only creating more divergence. -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
