At least in part, because if we ever wanted to add a standard _toArray() method, like we have __toString(), it would be quite a massive BC break if we already made it so that PHP automatically encased a single variable into an array, where an array was expected. > In fact, I am able to easily hack around the limitation: > > $result = someFunction(...$arr1, ...$arr2, ...[111]); // valid > > but the limitation seems just an unnecessary annoyance. Typing a couple of extra characters, to avoid needing extra magic behaviour, seems a good trade-off to me. cheers Dan Ack -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
