I think all object-to-string conversions should be done via __toString() if it is defined, even if the object is in quotes. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php class Message { function __toString() { return "Hello, World!\n"; } } $w = new Message; echo("$w"); echo("Message: " . $w); echo(substr($w,0)); echo($w); Expected result: ---------------- Hello, World! Message: Hello, World! Hello, World! Hello, World! Actual result: -------------- Object id #1 Message: Object id #1 Object Hello, World! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=34286&edit=1
