Do not confuse it with “strict_types”, which has nothing in common except the word “strict” in its name.. Strict mode in JS was introduced to disable design mistakes that couldn’t be removed due to very strong (almost inflexible) BC contraints. In PHP, we have deprecations followed by removals in next major version. (And some people, including me, will argue: while JS strict mode disables design mistakes, PHP strict_types mode *is* a design mistake.) —Claude
