Description:
------------
When using type hinting on a function with a type that isn't allowed (int, string, etc.), PHP stops the execution of the page (it doesn't seem to crash) without any error, making debugging very hard.

Reproduce code:
---------------
public static function getWatchedColumns(string $class)


(I *know* the code is wrong, that's the point.)

Expected result:
----------------
a PHP error

Actual result:
--------------
blank page

$ php -r 'public static function getWatchedColumns(string $class)'
PHP Parse error:  syntax error, unexpected T_PUBLIC in Command line code on line 1

Perhaps you should give a better example OR simply tune your error reporting (display_errors = On and error_reporting = E_ALL)..

The probles occurs when calling the function, not defining it.

However by calling
error_reporting(E_ALL);
before, I get :

PHP Catchable fatal error:  Argument 1 passed to sfPropelModerationBehavior::getWatchedColumns() must be an instance of string, string given, called in test.php on line 10 and defined in plugins/sfModerationPlugin/lib/sfPropelModerationBehavior.class.php on line 438

I guess we have an issue in our Symfony configuration, the development environment is supposed to be E_ALL|E_STRICT...
