Re: PHP Unit tests

You can force types by adding a prefix like so:
$my_var = (int) $my_var;
$my_var = (bool) $my_var;
$my_var = (string) $my_var;
etcetera.

I use PHP on project for pretty big multi-billion companies and I should say
language itself is just fine - it is programmer who makes a difference ;)
