PHP version: 5.0.0RC2
PHP Bug Type: Zend Engine 2 problem
Bug description: __toString() does not work in echo "x=$x"
Description:
------------
Method __toString() work in PHP5 RC1 correctly, but in PHP4 RC2 - wrong
(in today CVS - too). Bewitched method? :-) There are so many bugs and
changes around them in all PHP versions... I'm finishing the book about
PHP5, please say if __toString() behavour will be changed in release.
P.S.
I cannot understand too why this method is called only in print and echo
functions - thanks to it I cannot write
function myecho($s) { echo $s; }
myecho("x=$x");
But, I think, it is another question.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?
class C {
function __toString() { return "s"; }
}
$x = new C;
echo "x=$x";
?>
Expected result:
----------------
x=s
Actual result:
--------------
x=Object id #1
(and NO warning or notice)
