Type Casting

[econner]

Ok, I have a declared class called Error. I have another class called Login. I instantiate Error from Login and then return the Error variable to a variable in my script and try to cast it by something like:
$temp = $login->getError();
$error = (Error)$temp;
But this does not work (it returns an unexpected variable on the second line). Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong? Or does php not have the ability to cast created types?

Thanks.

according to the manual...

The casts allowed are:

*

  (int), (integer) - cast to integer
*

  (bool), (boolean) - cast to boolean
*

  (float), (double), (real) - cast to float
*

  (string) - cast to string
*

  (array) - cast to array
*

  (object) - cast to object
