It will vary per extension. For some it will be none. For others it will be 'some' time for each place the extension converts a PHP value to a string. Maybe a couple of hours for the first one, less time after that. > what happens if they don't. Immediately nothing. Eventually, when a __toString() method throws an exception, and the extension doesn't check for an exception being throw, bad things will happen. But in my opinion, if people don't understand the implications of the RFC even after reading the details in the RFC and this thread, then this probably is an RFC they should skip voting on. cheers Dan Ack -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
