Hello FG, Having a standard way to get the type of a variable, that matches the name of how it appears in PHP is a good idea. The 'extended' parameter is not such a good idea, for various reasons but mainly because it's simpler for people to call is_callable() as well as typeof, rather than having to interpret the extended string to tell if a string represents a callable. The same is true for floats; it is easier for people to call is_infinite or is_nan rather than searching inside a string for 'infinite' or 'invalid'. cheers Dan -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
