Currently there seems to be several styles of PHP form the nice and simple untyped version I moved to from very strictly typed hard compiled code I'd been using up until then, through to current code which is reliant on third party things like PSR and Composer and expects only strictly typed PHP.This is born of the fact that while ignoring datatype makes learning PHP easier, it makes using it harder - especially when testing.
