Can we talk about PHP functions with typehints too?

public static function foo(): string {

Practically every other language with similar syntax does this instead:

public static string foo() {

TIL PHP has statics.

Also, does PHP actually enforce the type declarations? I'd assume it would but knowing PHP...

It enforces scalar types (string, int, etc) at runtime if you enable strict mode. There's also static analysis tools like PHPStan and Psalm that will flag issues at build time.
