Bug Type: Feature/Change Request
Bug description:String Objects?
Description:
------------
To make PHP more object-oriented it would be useful to give primitives
(Strings
especially, as they have a large number of related functions) a more OO
interface.
In the same way PHP5 introduced ArrayObject, it would be useful to create a
StringObject in PHP6.
E.g. example usage:
<?php
//Some example usage
$str = 'Foo';
echo $str->toLower();
echo $str->replace('Foo', 'Bar');
echo $str->replace('Foo', 'Bar')->toLower(); //ideally needs inbuilt
support for
chaining
echo $str; //could be done using __toString()
?>
This can be achieved at the moment by defining a StringObject class and
using
$str = new String('My String'); or similar. However, the usefulness is
limited
because there's no way to automatically wrap all strings within the
application.
