Ummm... no, PHP does have types. You can see the difference between
true and 1 if you use the === operator in your if statement rather
than ==.
In your examples you were implicitly converting from a boolean type
to an integer or a string. Try this:
print gettype(true) . "<br>\n";
print gettype(0 + true) . "<br>\n";
print gettype('' . true) . "<br>\n";
