Przykład 19-41. Type Hinting examples
<?php // An example class class MyClass {     /**      * A test function      *      * First parameter must be an object of type OtherClass      */     public function test(OtherClass $otherclass) {         echo $otherclass->var;     }
 
      /**      * Another test function      *      * First parameter must be an array      */     public function test_array(array $input_array) {         print_r($input_array);     } }
  // Another example class class OtherClass {     public $var = 'Hello World'; } ?>
 | 
    Failing to satisfy the type hint results in a fatal error.
   
<?php // An instance of each class $myclass = new MyClass; $otherclass = new OtherClass;
  // Fatal Error: Argument 1 must be an object of class OtherClass $myclass->test('hello');
  // Fatal Error: Argument 1 must be an instance of OtherClass $foo = new stdClass; $myclass->test($foo);
  // Fatal Error: Argument 1 must not be null $myclass->test(null);
  // Works: Prints Hello World $myclass->test($otherclass);
  // Fatal Error: Argument 1 must be an array $myclass->test_array('a string');
  // Works: Prints the array $myclass->test_array(array('a', 'b', 'c')); ?>

    Type hinting also works with functions:
   
<?php // An example class class MyClass {     public $var = 'Hello World'; }
  /**  * A test function  *  * First parameter must be an object of type MyClass  */ function MyFunction (MyClass $foo) {     echo $foo->var; }
  // Works $myclass = new MyClass; MyFunction($myclass); ?>
