I found a patch by Derick online to allow for scalar type hinting, and made it work with the newest snapshot of PHP 5.3. I also added the ability to type hint for resources. I would like to ask that it be added to the next PHP release. It allows type hinting for int, float, bool, string, resource, and object, I also added the ability to use the secondary keywords for all of these types (such as double, real, long, etc.).
It will maintain 100% backwards compatibility, as the type hinting is 100% optional, implemented in the same way as array/class type hinting. I have the patch on my PC, please let me know where and when i can submit it. I'd be happy to do the patching and submission myself, just asking for permission here. -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
