In reference to bug #29029 (http://bugs.php.net/29029):
Current casting object behaviour: int - not able to cast dobule - notice thrown, returns 1.0 null - will return null bool - returns 1 (from result of double) string - user __toString() if applicable or 'Object' Beyond the ridiculous idea of adding a __toInt(), __toDouble().. etc. What about the idea that casting int so that it returns the id of the object, and the double value returns the int casted as a double value. So: $o1 = new stdClass(); $o2 = new stdClass(); $o3 = new stdClass(); var_dump((int) $o1); /* 1 */ var_dump((double) $o2); /* 2.0 */ var_dump((int) $o3); /* 3 */ Otherwise, I'll just move this over as a documentation problem.
