Re: [PHP-DEV] Return type hinting patch

[Arvids Godjuks]

I'm +1 for this syntax

function int myfunction(int $param)
{
     return $someint;
}

C/C++ like, easy to understand


And bad idea about making a return type "function" - looks very useless and
will not be used a lot. Work with objects with methods returning an object
of some kind, then you can do

$object->method()->method2()->method3();

P.S. I think this thread should be merged with function param type hinting
because they come together and should be implemented together,
