That example of "Surprise type conversions" is crazy. Did not know that.

While i do not think PHP is a perfect programing language. There is one think i LOVE about PHP, it is that the PHP "community's" default way of documenting code behavior is to make a small example.

When i read most other languages documentation i read it. Then i need to make a small test to verify that i understood it.

All those tests takes a long time to make and i have to make them over and over again, every time i forget the way a function behaves.
