ID: 55475 Updated by: ala...@php.net Reported by: mads at gartneriet dot dk Summary: is_a() triggers autoloader Status: Assigned Type: Bug Package: Scripting Engine problem PHP Version: 5.3.7 Assigned To: dmitry Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Attached now is a patch that fixes this by adding is_class_of Which behaves the same as is_subclass_of, (autoload/ accepts strings) It also fixes the documentation on is_subclass_of and reverts the behaviour of is_a Note: the is_a change is now a security bug as sending url's to is_a may trigger remote code execution now. Note: I'm not sure you can classify a 2-3 developers comments as the "common decision" there where objections to the original change from core developers, this patch gives everybody what they want....
