I'm not particularly aware of operator overloading in other language but I don't see why it would be less readable in PHP than in any other language as the only way to know what is happening is to read the code of the method overloading the operator. Anyhow, do I have to take as official PHP Team position that you won't implement it ? Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-02-08 22:59:25] [email protected] Operator overloading in a dynamically weak typed language is bad as reading code gives no information what's happening. If you really want it go to http://pecl.php.net/operator maybe that still works. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-02-08 22:49:23] sylvain at abstraction dot fr Description: ------------ I would like to know what is the current PHP team position about operator overloading in PHP for classes. Operator overloading has been stated Bogus in http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=9331 but it was more than two years ago. I think it would be nice to have a discussion about that topic. If you recently had one I would be interested if you could indicate me where I can find it. Best Regards. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=50969&edit=1
