Use strict typing with `declare(strict_types=1);`

Enforcing strict typing in PHP helps catch type-related errors during development, resulting in more reliable and predictable code. By declaring strict_types=1, PHP will perform strict type checking for function arguments and return types in the file where the declaration is placed.

Advantages: - Error Prevention: Catches type-related errors early in development. - Code Predictability: Ensures functions receive and return the expected types.

Example:

<?php
declare(strict_types=1);

function addNumbers(int $a, int $b): int {
    return $a + $b;
}

echo addNumbers(5, 10); // Outputs: 15
?>
