Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php For 5.0.x this is expected behavior. __toString() will only called automatically for echo and print constructs. Maybe we'll change that for 5.1.

But actually it is casted to string only during print (echo) operator. Even the example in ZEND_CHANGES does not work: class Foo { function __toString() { return "What ever"; } $obj = Foo; $str = (string) $obj; // call __toString() echo $obj; // call __toString() print $str will print the "Object" sring, not the "What ever". One more code example: class Integer { private $value; function __construct($val) { $this->value = $val; } function __toString() { return (string)($this->value); } } $i = new Integer(10); if (10 == $i) echo '10!!!! :-)'; "10!!! :-)" is not printed. Expected result: ---------------- When object is accessed in expressions it should be explicitly casted to sting nor vartype. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=26962&edit=1
