I like programming in PHP, and I've made some abstract classes called "Strings", "Math", "Array" which group all the functions refering to their data type.My idea is creating classes like "Strings", "Math", "Arrays" which should be abstract and have static methods, for example:All functions about strings should be inside "Strings Class" the same for "Math" and "Arrays". I would like these classes to be part of PHP core.Hope you understand what I'm saying.!

A similar but different idea has already been proposed, namely methods on scalars and arrays, which is Nikita Popov's (aka nikic) idea. -- Andrea Faulds http://ajf.me/ --- ## #74611 — Kris Craig — 2014-05-29T05:45:13+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/74595#74611 · In reply to: #74601 > > > A similar but different idea has already been proposed, namely methods on > scalars and arrays, which is Nikita Popov's (aka nikic) idea. > Do you know if there's an RFC for that one? I vaguely remember reading something about it but I didn't see it on a quick scan of the RFC page. --Kris --- ## #74633 — Rowan Lewis — 2014-05-29T15:22:19+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/74595#74633 · In reply to: #74611 I don't think there's an RFC, but Nikita wrote at length about it and created a PHP extension to allow for users to define their own methods on primitive types: http://nikic.github.io/2014/03/14/Methods-on-primitive-types-in-PHP.html This work was then used by Ross Riley who has attempted to define what these methods should be: https://github.com/rossriley/php-scalar-objects Hope this helps. > > […] > > Do you know if there's an RFC for that one?
