Description:
------------
When I overload the __toString() magic method in the SplFileInfo class or in
one
of it's derivatives it does not work if I concatenate the object with a string.
See the example for a simple demonstration.
Test script:
---------------
class A extends \SplFileInfo
{
public function __toString() {return ' -expected- ';}
}
$a = new A('/');
// Works
echo $a, $a->__toString(), $a->__toString() . '';
// Does not work - outputs parent::__toString()
echo $a . '';
Expected result:
----------------
-expected- -expected- -expected- /
