I wouldn't take my opinion as law, as I'm not part of the core PHP Group or anything, so I don't speak for anyone but myself. All I'm saying is that I seem to remember this issue being brought up before, and the result was that PHP is not a strong typed language, and probably won't become one any time soon.
A couple of weeks ago the discussion kind of stirred up again with the idea of "string types". You can sort of do your own data type checks now using is_int(), is_array(), etc., which although falls short of true strong typing, is better than nothing. If you want to move to C#, super. Use the tool that fits the job. But I hope to hell you aren't doing it just 'cause I sent you a reply on a newsgroup that you didn't like. Personally, I wouldn't mind a slightly stronger typed PHP (at least for function arguments) as long as BC and portability were maintained and it was totally optional.
