From: lpu8er at gmail dot com Operating system: PHP version: 5.5.0beta3 Package: *General Issues Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description:Implements __empty() and __equals()
Description: ------------ For convenience, we should be able to use objects at any time, including into the language constructs. Java implements .equals() in order to compare objects. Such a request already exists, but in a single comment: http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.object-comparison.php#85769 The basic/default behavior (fallback) for such a method would be same as actual. The proto would be: public function __equals(stdOject $comparisonObject) and couldn't be called statically. In the same way, having some __empty() method would be fine, which would act as empty() for the basic/default behavior. -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=64687&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64687&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64687&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64687&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64687&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64687&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64687&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64687&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64687&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64687&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64687&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64687&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64687&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64687&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64687&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64687&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64687&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64687&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64687&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64687&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64687&r=mysqlcfg
