Re: [PHP] Re: array or list of objects of different types

var_dump( array( true , 12 , php already does this ) );

array(3) {
   [0]=  bool(true)
   [1]=  int(12)
   [2]=  string(21) php already does this
}

Yeah. But this feature of PHP is a boon if used carefully and a curse if  
careless. You can get AMAZING results if you're not careful to check the  
data types ;)




And that's why language like C# and java supports  to restrict the type  
of data a collection can hold.

 Hi all,
 
 I want to be able to have an array of elements of different types. As an 
 example: the first element is a boolean, the second is an integer, and the 
 thirs is a string.
 
 In php there is no typing, i'm just wondering if there is a way to have that, 
 it would be a lot better than having an array of strings and have to convert 
 each element.
 

var_dump( array( true , 12 , php already does this ) );

array(3) {
  [0]= bool(true)
  [1]= int(12)
  [2]= string(21) php already does this
