I apologize for my bad English, I used Google translate.
I would propose developers to add the ability to use the classes in the
type conversion, adding in class a new magical method, for example,
__converting()
For example:
<?php
class ClassName
{
private $myProperty;
public function __construct($value)
{
$this->myProperty = $value;
}
public function show()
{
echo $this->myProperty;
}
// magical method
public function __converting($value)
{
return new self($value);
}
}
// Example of use
$value = 123;
$value = (ClassName)$value;
$value->show(); // Result: 123
?>
Similarly, for the classes in the namespace:
<?php
/*
A class declaration in namespace: MyNamespace\ClassName
*/
$value = 123;
$value = (MyNamespace\ClassName)$value; // Or $value =
(\MyNamespace\ClassName)$value;
$value->show(); // Result: 123
?>
Thank you for your attention.
