Adobe Dreamweaver highlights the word object in PHP sources and I’m wondering why. It’s definitely not the name of the generic class, which is generic (Edit: sorry, it’s actually stdClass not generic, which I always define myself in all projects).
And as you might have guessed it’s not easy to google for answers to this question.
objectis a data type in PHP. You typically find it in statements that cast stuff to objects. Additionally, passing an object togettype()causes it to return the string'object'(it’s not a keyword, it just tells you that it’s an actual PHP data type).The “generic” class in PHP is
stdClass. I haven’t heard ofgenericbeing a PHP keyword, ever.
