Bug description: cast, gettype mishmash
Description:
------------
mishmash with casting and gettype
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?
$v=(string)'';
print('1. variable casted as string has type: '.gettype($v).'<br>');
$v=(unicode)'';
print('2. variable casted as unicode has type: '.gettype($v).'<br>');
$v=(binary)'';
print('3. variable casted as binary has type: '.gettype($v).'<br>');
?>
Expected result:
----------------
I suggest:
1. variable casted as string has type: string (OLD PHP 5 behaviour, in PHP
6 for binary operation)
2. variable casted as unicode has type: unicode
or
1. variable casted as string has type: string (for unicode)
2. variable casted as binary has type: binary (OLD PHP 5 behaviour, in PHP
6 for binary operation)
Actual result:
--------------
1. variable casted as string has type: unicode
2. variable casted as unicode has type: unicode
3. variable casted as binary has type: string
---mishmash---
binary -> string -> unicode
