Bug description:Error message when type hinting is ambigious
Description:
------------
When you type hint with a name of a type PHP has, the error message is
ambiguous
and confusing.
Test script:
---------------
function foo(boolean $bar) {
var_dump($bar);
}
foo(true);
Expected result:
----------------
Catchable fatal error: Argument 1 passed to foo() must be an instance of
the class
boolean, non-class of type boolean given, called in /code/VhrCdK on line 11
and
defined in /code/VhrCdK on line 3
This is just my first thoughts on how to make it less confusing. Other
suggestions
would be apperciated.
Actual result:
--------------
Catchable fatal error: Argument 1 passed to foo() must be an instance of
boolean,
boolean given, called in /code/VhrCdK on line 11 and defined in
/code/VhrCdK on
line 3
