PHP Function Arguments: Array of Objects of a Specific Class

I have a function that takes a member of a particular class:

public function addPage(My_Page $page)
{
  // ...
}

I’d like to make another function that takes an array of My_Page objects:

public function addPages($pages)
{
  // ...
}

I need to ensure that each element of $pages array is an instance of My_Page. I could do that with foreach($pages as $page) and check for instance of, but can I somehow specify in the function definition that the array has to be an array of My_Page objects? Improvising, something like:

public function addPages(array(My_Page)) // I realize this is improper PHP...

Thanks!

No, it’s not possible to do directly. You might try this “clever” trick instead:

public function addPages(array $pages)
{
    foreach($pages as $page) addPage($page);
}

public function addPage(My_Page $page)
{
    //
}

But I ‘m not sure if it’s worth all the trouble. It would be a good approach if addPage is useful on its own.
