Yeah. But this feature of PHP is a boon if used carefully and a curse
if careless. You can get AMAZING results if you're not careful to
check the data types ;)
And that's why language like C# and java supports<> to restrict the
type of data a collection can hold.
As a side point; I replicated a load of type safe collections etc for
PHP (a good chunk of the java collections stuff) - If it's of use to
anybody I can stick them in a google code project or suchlike.
They'll obviously never be as fast as Java/C but they do allow for
static typing of collections using primitive types or Classes.

Best is to use the is_* functions :P
