variables type in php

It's a newbie question...

Is it possible to type variable in PHP inspite this is a loose type
language. Or would that be required in some cases?

for information about variable types in php you can visit this web
site.

PHP's not loosely typed - it's dynamically typed which is subtly different.
Go RTFM - there's lots of good stuff there including...

ctype_digit()
is_bool()
is_null()
is_float()
is_int()
is_string()
is_object()
is_array()

PHP also supports null values in variables as well as the usual integer,
float and string scalar types. This can be useful sometimes, but often
confuse people without prior experience (usually from relational DBs).
