Your script is bogus:

Description:
------------
The new __toString() magic method wont work
Reproduce code:
---------------
The new __toString() magic method allows you to overload the object to
string conversion:
<?php
class Foo {
function __toString() {
return "What ever";
}
}
$obj = Foo;
$str = (string) $obj; // call __toString()
echo $obj; // call __toString()
?>
Expected result:
----------------
What ever
Actual result:
--------------
Object#n
