From: Operating system: PHP version: 6SVN-2010-04-19 (snap) Package: Strings related Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description:String Objects?
Description: ------------ To make PHP more object-oriented it would be useful to give primitives (Strings especially, as they have a large number of related functions) a more OO interface. In the same way PHP5 introduced ArrayObject, it would be useful to create a StringObject in PHP6. E.g. example usage: <?php //Some example usage $str = 'Foo'; echo $str->toLower(); echo $str->replace('Foo', 'Bar'); echo $str->replace('Foo', 'Bar')->toLower(); //ideally needs inbuilt support for chaining echo $str; //could be done using __toString() ?> This can be achieved at the moment by defining a StringObject class and using $str = new String('My String'); or similar. However, the usefulness is limited because there's no way to automatically wrap all strings within the application. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51598&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51598&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51598&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51598&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51598&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51598&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51598&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51598&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51598&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51598&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51598&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51598&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51598&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51598&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51598&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51598&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51598&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51598&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51598&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51598&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51598&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51598&r=mysqlcfg
