is_a Conclusion

July 29, 2009 – 3:10 pm

Errors:
For the majority of WordPress users, the use of is_a in the core files is of little concern. The E_STRICT errors, in PHP versions >= 5.0 < 5.3 only, can be safely ignored and are not a problem if error reporting does not include them.
Performance:
For those that have PHP versions >= 5.0 and desire a [...]
