PHP’s explicit casts cannot fail, and there is absolutely no good reason to change this. If people want strict casting, we can add new functions or operators for that specifically. But to break explicit casts and make them sometimes fail would cause innumerable bugs and backwards-compatibility ideas. -- Andrea Faulds http://ajf.me/
