Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php In 5.0.x __toString() will only be called automatically for print/echo. Maybe we will change that for 5.1.x if we find out how. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-07-21 12:58:23] scm2tj at cs dot cf dot ac dot uk Description: ------------ Using the die() function and passing a object as a parameter, you'd expect the __toString() function to be called, but it isn't. I understand there are problems with concatenation, but in this instance, just the object is being passed. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php class Foobar { public function __toString() { return "Foo"; } } $bar = new Foobar; die($bar); ?> Expected result: ---------------- Foo Actual result: -------------- Object id #1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=29295&edit=1
