From: lapo at lapo dot it Operating system: Win32 PHP version: 5.0.0RC2 PHP Bug Type: Zend Engine 2 problem Bug description: using an object as a string parameter converts it to a string
Description: ------------ Tidy-PHP binding documentation is not very clear (yep, I will RTFS someday) but in each example uses the output $tidy object directly in an "echo" just to output it's value, using (I guess) it's internal __toString() method. As far as I do "echo" it, no problem, but passing it to a string-accepting function actually converts it to a string instead of just using the output of its toString method. Reproduce code: --------------- $tidy = tidy_parse_string('<b>Just a try', array(), 'UTF8'); $a = htmlspecialchars($tidy . ''); echo gettype($tidy) . ', '; $a = htmlspecialchars($tidy); echo gettype($tidy); Expected result: ---------------- Output: object, object Actual result: -------------- Output: object, string -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=28591&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28591&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28591&r=trysnapshot5 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28591&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28591&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28591&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28591&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28591&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28591&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28591&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28591&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28591&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28591&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28591&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28591&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28591&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28591&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28591&r=float
