Hello,
I'm new with php internal. Here is my first answer but i use php everyday.
I think that the return type is needed in php. When you make an interface,
why are you not sure of the return of the function made by the user ?
Of course you can specified it as comment but if you want to be sure of the
return you have to test it and when the class is implementing your
interface...
That's definitively weird, isn't it?
I use PHPStorm (and I'm probably not the only one here, haha) and love so
much the warning when I'm wrong with return type.
Why is it a feature of phpstorm and not of the language ? Weird. Again.
I hope i help !
Bye.
