Re: [PHP-DEV] Union type casts

As I mentioned before, it would work the same alike way as if we called function with such type-hint. FMPOV, one of the most meaningful use-cases would be nullable casts (like casting `?string` into `?float` for example). Regards, Yevhen On Wed, Oct 5, 2022, 8:41 AM Dusk wrote: > On Oct 4, 202

[PHP-DEV] Union type casts

Hello internals! I'm wondering if there are any plans for union type casts support. That's basically what I mean: ```php function checkItOut(int|float|string $bar) { $foo = (int|float)$bar; var_dump($foo); } ``` I assume the behavior should be the same as if we called the function havin

sounds like that's been done with PECL previously yeah? PECL json until native json_encode in PHP5.2.0, PECL PDO until native PDO in PHP 5.1.0, PECL ZendOpcache until native opcache in PHP 5.5.5 etc? On Wed, 5 Oct 2022 at 00:38, Flávio Heleno wrote: > > On Tue, Oct 4, 2022, 17:43 David Rodrigues

[PHP-DEV] Experimental features

I wanted to suggest the possibility of introducing experimental features to PHP. This is an old thread I guess, but I think it's good to reevaluate the situation from time to time, as other languages already do this to some extent and PHP doesn't. Some platforms/languages (Node, Kotlin) and librar
