Good stuff. One thought to add. From what I understand if () {} else {} is slightly slower than a plain if. Maybe this has change in PHP 7.*+? In any case, in the name of brevity and simplicity.

$echo_this = 'Wait what';
if ( $integer !== $string ){
	$echo_this = 'Okay, good';
}
echo $echo_this;

That is, set the default value and use a conditional to change it, only if the conditional is met.
