Scalar (int, float, string) type hinting may be added in a future PHP version, and there's currently an RFC for return types (I expect it'll pass myself). PHP already let you type hint for classses.

You can also hint on interfaces. If strict typing is important, I use the SPL primitive wrapper classes like SplString or SplInt http://php.net/manual/en/class.spltype.php

Cool! I wasn't aware of the RFC. Must be this one then? https://wiki.php.net/rfc/returntypehinting
