specifying return values for functions?

[Alex Weber]

will this ever be incorporated into PHP?

the typeless nature suggests no. but with the introduction of limited
"TypeHintin g" and plans for a full implementation in 6.0 i hope
they'll add this possibility.

really useful for interfaces, especially if programming by contract.

I sincerely hope not.

If you really want to write strongly typed PHP, take a look at
phplint.
