I have a fully working patch written, I have been using it myself with no problems for a couple of months. Full specs: Type hinting patch allows for 8 new type hints, in addition to array and class type hinting. - Integers (specified by "int", "integer", or "long") - Floats (specified by "float", "double", or "real") - Numbers (matches integers and floats, specified by "num" or "number") - Strings (specified by "string") - Booleans (specified by "bool" or "boolean") - Scalars (matches strings, booleans, and numbers; specified by "scalar") - Resources (specified by "resource") - Objects (matches any object, specified by "object") ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=43745&edit=1
