Looks like you are using the wrong language, you need JAVA instead.

Yes, I'll admit it does look like Java (or any C++-like OO language) - but PHP already does some type hinting, and IMO it can be very useful as an additional sanity check. Dave

I am a Java developer :p and PHP and AS3 (they're my primary languages), some things are good regardless of what language they're from, it's not exactly a major shift to generics or packages that I'm suggesting, just natural progression from type-hinting and most useful whatever language you are in. I daily switch between PHP and Java and there are only a few things that make logical sense to have in a language that I miss when back on php; primitives, multiple method signatures, and the ability to call a class member function without using this; however I'm well aware the latter is impossible since PHP is both procedural and OO.
