PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request
Bug description: New magic method __setValue for REAL type checking.
Description:
------------
It's a feature request for a new magic method named __setValue (could be
other more suitable name)
There is already magic method named __set, which is called when
inaccessible MEMBER is called. The one I propose should be called when
Object is called, receive the value that this object is being set to, and
return new value. For example:
class Int32 {
function __setValue($value) {
if (!is_int($value)) throw new Exception("Type checking...");
return $value;
}
}
class A {
public $intVar;
public function __construct() {
$this->intVar = new Int32();
}
}
$a = new A();
$a->intVar = 12; //is ok
$a->intVar = "asdf"; //throws exception
That feature would give TONES of new possibilities, type checking is one
of them.
