This is not a bug, as stated in the docs (www.php.net/oop5)
__toString() will only be automatically called if directly combined
with echo/print with NOTHING BEFORE THE OBJECT! (not even a cast).
echo (string) $obj;
would print Object, since __toString() is not invoked.
__toString()'s implementation is going to be changed/removed completely
in PHP5.1

Description:
------------
Typecasting an object with a __toString() function returns the string
'Object' and doesn't run __toString().
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
class Foobar
{
.....public function __toString ()
.....{
..........echo '__toString() was run.', "\n";
..........return ('./includes/foobar.php');
.....}
}
$foobar = new Foobar ();
require ((string) $foobar);
?>
Expected result:
----------------
__toString() was run.
require ('./includes/foobar.php');
Actual result:
--------------
require ('Object');
