-With the addition of scalar types in PHP 7, nullables in 7.1, `objectin 7.2, and lastly, union types in 8.0, people writing PHP code can explicitly declare type information for most function parameters, function returns, as well as class properties.+With the addition of scalar types in PHP 7, nullables in 7.1, object in 7.2, and lastly, union types in 8.0, people writing PHP code can explicitly declare type information for most function parameters, function returns, as well as class properties.
  
 However, PHP has not always supported types, and most probably it will always allow to omit type information. But this leads to the problem that its meaning is ambiguous when type information is missing: However, PHP has not always supported types, and most probably it will always allow to omit type information.

 +==== Explicit returns ==== 
 +
 +When using mixed as a return type, a value must be explicitly returned from the function, otherwise a TypeError will be thrown.
 +
 +<code php>
 +function foo(): mixed {}
 +
 +foo();
 +
 +// Uncaught TypeError: Return value of foo() must be of 
 +// the type mixed, none returned
 +</code>
 +
 +This is consistent with the existing behaviour for other return types.
 +
 +<code php>
 +function bar(): ?int {}
 +bar();
 +// Uncaught TypeError: Return value of bar() must be of 
 +// the type int or null, none returned
