From: Operating system: Any PHP version: 5.3.2 Package: SPL related Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description:Controlled typecasting for objects that implement the "Countable" interface
Description: ------------ Now we have no ways to controll type casting of Countable-objects to boolean type. We would like to work with the SPL-derivatives, as well as with the built- in types. Test script: --------------- <?php class myCountable implements Countable { function count() { return 0; } } var_dump((boolean) array()); var_dump((boolean) new myCountable()); Expected result: ---------------- bool(false) bool(false) Actual result: -------------- bool(false) bool(true) -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51922&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51922&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51922&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51922&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51922&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51922&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51922&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51922&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51922&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51922&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51922&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51922&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51922&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51922&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51922&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51922&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51922&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51922&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51922&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51922&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51922&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51922&r=mysqlcfg
