I've been digging more into this: http://svn.php.net/viewvc/php/php-src/branches/PHP_5_3/Zend/zend_builtin_fun ctions.c?r1=307522&r2=312904&pathrev=312904 >From what I understand, this patch is only place where is_a() all of sudden starts accepting a string. Btw the documentation has never been updated: http://php.net/manual/en/function.is-a.php It seems unintentional, the patch tries to fix a bug but introduces a new 'feature'. Should it be reverted? -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
