RE: Why doesn't php have a 'date' variable type?

[Ross Honniball <ross@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

php isn't typeless. It has types of int, string, array, object etc. Refer 
to the GetType() builtin function for more info.

It can be easy to think of it as typeless because, at any time you deem 
appropriate, you can change the type of a variable simply by assigning a 
new value to it of a different type.
