Arrays to scalars already fail. See http://wiki.php.net/rfc/typecheckingstrictandweak#current_behavior_of_zend_parse_parameters <?php var_dump(strtoupper(array("abc"))); gives: Warning: strtoupper() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in ... on line 2 NULL To respond to Jordi Boggiano, I am not advocating changing the behavior of cast, only of internal functions' argument parsing. Also, I think it doesn't make sense to allow "17.", but disallow "17.5" when an int is expected. See floating point arithmetic and equality comparisons. -- Gustavo Lopes -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
