Actually this is not true. Other languages have differences between explicit conversions (aka casting) and implicit conversions as well. C# is the language I use the most after PHP, so I'll bring that one up (see https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms173105.aspx), but I believe other languages (probably Java?) act the same way.
