The intention is obviously that you wouldn’t skip the E_RECOVERABLE_ERROR, but my point was that if you really wanted to, you could. The other type hints are strict, hence this one is too, it’s just tolerant of equivalent values that can be losslessly converted. If you want to pass user data safely to such a function, (int) or (float) first is probably a good idea. -- Andrea Faulds http://ajf.me/ -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
