## [Types](http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.php)
Types are [weakly typed](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strong_and_weak_typing) and begin with the $ symbol. A valid variable name starts with a letter or underscore, followed by any number of letters, numbers, or underscores.

PHP offers some [magic methods](http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.magic.php) for classes.
```php

```
Classes can be abstract (using the ```abstract``` keyword), extend other classes (using the ```extends``` keyword) and implement interfaces (using the ```implements``` keyword). An interface is declared with the ```interface``` keyword.
```php
<?php
