Re: [PHP] Your Opinion

For correct benchmarking you should run the test also when $foo == 'string'

The thought arose that I can replace simple functions like
is_string(), is_array() with simpler php code.
For example ->
<?php

$foo = array('foo','foo','foo','foo','foo','foo','foo','foo','foo','foo',
                  'foo','foo','foo','foo','foo','foo','foo','foo','foo','foo',
                  'foo','foo','foo','foo','foo','foo','foo','foo','foo','foo');
for($x=0; $x < 50; $x++)
{
    if ($foo === @(array)$foo)
//    if (is_array( $foo ))
    {
        echo 'true<br />';
    }
    else
    {
        echo 'false<br />';
    }
}
?>

It seems to work, and debugging it via APD shows that it uses less resources.
Just an idea, nothing serious.
Thanks
