Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php As sjon at hortensius dot net stated, this is expected behavior for coercive type enforcement. To enable strict type enforcement, include declare(strict_types=1); at the top if your *calling* script. Note that strict enforcement is performed at the callsite and is set on a per-file basis.

Test script: --------------- function test (float $element) { var_dump($element); } test('123'); die; Expected result: ---------------- Catchable fatal error: Argument 1 passed to test() must be an instance of float, instance of string given Actual result: -------------- float(123) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=75507&edit=1
