I can see some benefits of having weak typing (even though I'm not desperate for it) and think it would better fit PHP than strict typing. If someone brings up real world use cases for strict typing then please not only include the function being called but also the calling code as in my experience that's where the type juggling will happen once you have strict typing. And that's where weak typing could shine IMHO. Regards, - Chris
