Bug description: __toString() problem with an integer return
Description:
------------
When we want to use __toString() method for an object we can't return a
integer, that's a problem for example if we have a class named Zip and
__toString() method have to return zipcode.
I my example, seconde class represent the fix in php : we have to force
implicit conversion from integer to string
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
Class Zip
{
protected $zipcode = 33000;
public function __toString()
{
return $this->zipcode;
}
}
$zip = new Zip();
echo 'Zip : ' .$zip;
?>
// and now the fix
Class Zip2
{
protected $zipcode = 33000;
public function __toString()
{
return (string) $this->zipcode;
}
}
Expected result:
----------------
Zip : 33000
Actual result:
--------------
Catchable fatal error: Method Zip::__toString() must return a string value
