I simply can't see the case for limited function type hints at all! I either already have clean defined data from the database, or I need to validate the data from users before using it. While validating I need to confirm constraints of data type so adding some extra wrapper that only does half the job just seems a pointless exercise. Annotating the correct data type would be of more use and I already have that in the docblock and my IDE produces those hints while I am writing the code - which it has done for many years. To my mind it IS in the IDE that much of this stuff which people keep saying is not 'runtime' should be managed, and anything that is not needed at 'runtime' should be removable but what is being added across several areas all seem to beadding the same things - partially - using different methods - without any obvious gain. Additionally I'm now passing data as an array as that was the 'best practice' a few years back so it is rare to be passing a single value anyway. -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
