extern crate sigil_stitch;
use sigil_stitch::prelude::*;
fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
sigil_quote!(Php {
    class Calculator {
        public function add(int $$a, int $$b): int {
            return $$a + $$b;
        }
    }
})?;
Ok(())
}

Key points:

• PHP uses ?Type for nullable type declarations (?string, ?User).
• PHP does not use <> for generics — the tokenizer correctly treats < as comparison.
• $ in PHP variable names must be escaped as $$ in templates: $$a produces $a.
