[PHP-DEV] About declare(strict_types = 1)

[Xinchen Hui]

Hey:

     The most unaccept feature in current STH thing(v.5.0) is this.

     acutaly, I believe in most applications, they will still keep this off..

     so why we introduce such thing?

     beside this,  I have a question, which is not explained in the RFC:

     lib.php
     <?php
       declare(strict_types = 1);
       function add(int $a, int $b) {
       }
     ?>

     assuming lib.php is a thrid part library which I want to use it
in my project.

     but I use whole weak types in my project..

     thus I simply call  add by:

     <?php

      add($_GET['a'], $_GET['b']); //recoverable error  since all
input in _GET _POST is string by default

     ?>

     that means, I need to add a lots of (int) while I try to call a
function in a library which is not written by myself.

     is that right?



thanks
