Exactly how a variable should be set, well it could be for instance var $age:int;

Where on the php site does it tell you to set it like that ? I've never seent that before ?

It is also because you cannot do it... :) It was an idea on how it could be done, with a little inspiration from pascal.

But you could also do both things at the same time, for instance that you PHP5 can make class type hints about the parameters to a method, but you can also not do it.

I dont get it do you have an example ?

Well the changes document for PHP5 explains it pretty good: In PHP5 this: |<?php function foo(ClassName $object) { // ... } ?> | is equivalent to in PHP4: | <?php function foo($object) { if (!($object instanceof ClassName)) {

      die("Argument 1 must be an instance of ClassName");

} } ?> | Meaning that if you hint the class type of a parameter of your method, and you set the parameter with a different type when you call the parameter, it will produce an error. You can read more about it here: http://www.php.net/zend-engine-2.php /Martin
