Hi Alan, I think it really bad attitude to call the php-core (either the project or the team) as stupid, and as PEAR is an official php project I think that the recently announced Code of conduct applies here also: http://lwn.net/Articles/452278/ It is really unfortunate that this change was introduced in the 5.3 branch, but it is also unfortunate that nobody really noticed this change and the implications before we shipped the stable release. here is a short summary about what happened: http://www.mail-archive.com/internals@lists.php.net/msg52981.html The change itself is/was supported by the majority of the core devs (the only disagreement was about having this in the 5.3 branch in the first place and should we keep it or revert back to the old behavior with the next stable release), as the previous behavior was undocumented (that you can pass mixed as the first argument to is_a()) and inconsistent. Fortunately fixing your code is easy, just make sure that you pass a valid object to is_a() or usage of the instanceof operator. I think that instead of finger-pointing we should work on how to prevent similar changes in the future, so maybe the php and the pear qa groups should work more closely, and test that pear is working with the RCs. -- Ferenc Kovács @Tyr43l - http://tyrael.hu -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
