Hi,
PHP5 uses the 'instanceof' keyword instead of the deprecated is_a() function.
But there's a big difference between the two:
- is_a($cls,"ClassName") *doesn't require* from ClassName to be declared, and return false when ClassName is not declared.
- ($cls instanceof ClassName) *requires* from ClassName to be declared, and generates a fatal error when ClassName is not declared.
Since is_a() is deprecated.. is there a way to use instanceof exactly like is_a() function (so it will not make an error when the class is not declared)?
-thanks, Eli
