From: obluda dot x at seznam dot cz Operating system: all PHP version: 5CVS-2006-07-18 (CVS) PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: Add scalar-type hinting
Description: ------------ Currently, only object and array arguments of a function can be hinted. However, if you can't hint non-class/non-array argument, you have to leave argument unhinted, which allows passing of class/array besides of scalar types. I propose adding new type-hinting keyword 'scalar', which matches complement to currently possible hints. Think also about 'resource' hint. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php function show ( scalar $string ) { echo $string; } show("hello\n"); show(new stdClass()); ?> Expected result: ---------------- hello Error... -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=38128&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38128&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38128&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38128&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38128&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38128&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38128&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38128&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38128&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38128&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38128&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38128&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38128&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38128&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38128&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38128&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38128&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38128&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38128&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38128&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38128&r=mysqlcfg
