//that's working fine $test= new string_extended("this is my anonymous string"); echo $test; /that's not working, but should'nt it be the case ? $test = (string_extended) "This is my anonymous string"; echo $test; I'll find this very usefull :x, it's just a syntax ehancement nope ?
Can't give you a definite answer but presumably it's not calling the constructor when you type cast it. Add a line to your constructor that will show if this is the case. Eg:
function __construct($str){ $this->contents=$str; echo "In string_extended constructor...<br />\n"; } -- Richard Heyes In Cambridge or near Liverpool Street station in London?
