Not necessarily strongly typed. (sorry to land on this topic afterwards) As I see PHP, it's a language that can be used as an informal scripting language, but also as a rock-solid modern tool. Type hinting in parameters is a really good thing, and it doesn't transformed PHP in a strongly typed language. Doing the same for object properties (always optional) could be very useful.
