Ok i see you point but other are not as complex like __toResource would be create for connect on demand db classes you can also only have the magic methods for float and int called if you are specifically cast like (int)$Object Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-10-23 10:24:21] johan...@php.net This was discussed and leads to too many unclear situations. Like should $a + $b call toFloat or toInt or what? What about $a < $b? Maybe a string comparison. In the end implementing this gives more trouble than where it helps. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-10-22 15:23:46] greg at imagiclab dot com Description: ------------ Need magic method for every data type. Why have a incomplete magic method list. Why not a __toInt and __toResource. We are trying to change a legacy system to connect to mysql on demand and would love a __toResource magic method. Also anyone who uses class based enums would like a __toInt to convert the enum to is int valyue and to use __toSting to convert the enum to its label.
