Bug description:Scalar Casting
Description:
------------
It would be nice if we can control the casting behavior of any type to
another.
Like a function like this:
register_casting_behavior( $from, $to, $callback_function );
So when you do this:
register_casting_behavior( 'int', 'bool', 'int2bool' );
$X = (bool) 1;
It will call int2bool( 1 ) and so...
Then....
Test script:
---------------
register_casting_behavior( 'string', 'object', array( 'String',
'__construct' ) );
class String
{
protected $value = null;
public function __construct( $String )
{
$this->value = $String;
return $this;
}
public function toLower()
{
return strtolower($this->value);
}
public function underline()
{
return "<span style='text-decoration:
underline;'>{$this->value}</span>";
}
}
$S = 'My String';
echo $S->toLower()->underline();
// will output: <span style='text-decoration: underline;'>my string</span>
