Bug Type: Zend Engine 2 problem
Operating System: win98
PHP Version: 5CVS-2004-04-02 (dev)
Assigned To: andi
New Comment:
OK, I did my research now. Sadly run-tests doesn't work on win98 due
to the piping element, but I found that building PHP with
zend_std_cast_object_tostring included as part of the
std_object_handlers struct gets rid of all the issues & doesn't cause
any new issues in ext/simplexml's test batch. (I ran them manually).
Of course the other new extensions that use std_object_handlers might
be adversely affected, but it's override-able (no?).
It's such an easy fix (must be if I can find it!), I'm obviously
missing the reason that the cast_object property's currently set as
NULL. The internals list archives show a huge discussion on the
subject, most of which goes straight over my head. Just looking for
clarity now..

erm, yes it does -
echo $obj; // works fine
echo (string) $obj; // fails
- but I thought that was _meant_ to fail currently :\
Andi, when you bogus this report, could you please clarify exactly what
should or shouldn't happen at this point? Docs need to reflect
intended behaviour too..

It doesn't work without the concat either.

The advertising is wrong. This method was changed in RC
1 to prevent some potential crashes. You can no longer
concat it. Hopefully this will be fixed in PHP 5.1.

Description:
------------
__toString() works more or less as currently advertised, until I try to
concat it..
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
class Foo {
function __toString() {
return "Blah";
}
}
$obj = new Foo();
echo $obj."\n";
?>
Expected result:
----------------
Blah
Actual result:
--------------
Object id #1
