Err sorry yes John is correct. I wasn't paying close enough attention. Here's *my* vision of how that progression would look:
$a = "1"; // Current kosher unchanged. weak int $a = "1"; // Converts to 1. No error thrown. strong int $a = "1"; // Converts to 1. May or may not throw an error (I'm still on the fence). $a = "blah"; // Current kosher unchanged. weak int $a = "blah"; // Throws E_x error level. strong int $a = "blah"; // Throws E_y error level. Where E_y > E_x. --Kris On Tue, Feb 28, 2012 at 1:52 PM, John Crenshaw <johncrens...@priacta.com>wrote: > No, In the example given there's an error on int $a = "1".
