There is Java. And there is Python. And ObjectiveC, SmallTalk, Eiffel,
Pike and whatnot. Trying to make PHP into a strongly typed real OO
language means spending a few years reinventing what Java and Python
have had for years. If that's really what you need, write yourself an
XML-RPC or CORBA-based application server in Java instead.
