Hi, I create a new thread to discuss about Scalar type hinting.
Following the John Crenshaw proposed terminology: > - "Strict Typing" means the super strict old C style typing that has been proven to be ridiculous in this environment because of the obvious problems inherent in the fact that almost every input is a string. > - "Weak Typing" means types in the same sense that the PHP documentation uses types (for example, the docs indicate substr(string, integer), and substr(12345, "2") == "345".) > - "No Scalar Typing" should be used to indicate the current system (where there is no provision for hinting at scalar types.) Previous weak typing proposal could be found here : https://wiki.php.net/rfc/typechecking I have no rights to edit the wiki and make a summary of previous arguments, so if someone could create it... -- Samuel DEAL samuel.d...@gmail.com
