So in my blog series I try to cover all additions to PHP trunk so I have to mention scalar type hints.

<?php
function print_float(float $f) {
    echo $f."\n";
}

for ($i = 1; $i < 5; $i++) {
    print_float( $i / 3 );
}
?>
	

0.33333333333333
0.66666666666667

Catchable fatal error: Argument 1 passed to print_float() must be of the type double, integer given, called in typehints.php on line 7 and defined in typehints.php on line 2

Is expected behavior in PHP's trunk. If you want such a thing to work please use the numeric type hint.

In case that wasn't enought fun: There's more!

<?php
function handle_result(int $i) {
    echo $i."\n";
}

A four part tutorial that explains the PHP / MySQL extensions - mysql, mysqli, and pdo_mysql - with simple examples is now accessible from Sun Developer Network. While most of the information presented in the tutorial is available elsewhere in bits and pieces, the real value-add is in the introduction of the MySQL native driver for PHP, mysqlnd.

Here is a brief description of all four parts in the series. Check them out, and as always feel free to send the corrections, comments, suggestions, etc., to my Sun mail ID: Giri.Mandalika@Sun.COM

• Part 1: Using the MySQL Improved Extension, mysqli -- describes mysqli, the MySQL Improved Extension that is the successor to the mysql extension
