This is quite complete, definitely bookmarking for reference.

I've been knee deep in PHP for the last 6 months after keeping it at arm's length for probably 10 years. It's really quite incredible how much it's improved and I think the type system is the major factor for me. It's not perfect but damn - I can get some stuff done really quick now.

I'll add though; the real benefit only comes with heavy use of objects, like in Yii/Craft. If you've got keyed arrays everywhere it's still a hellhole.

Arrays can become collections.
