As PHP is loosely typed, the only real way around this is to specify a return type in a PHPDoc block, then parse that using reflection to get the @return parameter. another option is to use something like haXe which is an ECMA style typed language that compiles to multiple targets, one of which is PHP.
Thanks Nathan for your comment. But I think the PHPDoc stuff is only for user defined functions, right? The Reflection::getDocComment() has no idea about the built-in functions. -- Dasn
