PEAR and Type Casting - To have or not to have, that is.....

First let me finish the subject title: PEAR and Type Casting - To have or not to have, that is the question.
- There I'm happy, lol.
Alright as the (finished) subject title suggests, I'm wondering if programmers can use PEAR and Type Casting and still be considered standards compliment. I understand it's a stupid question to ask this because PEAR has developed our latest standards to use, so that answer is obvious, but I wish to know if more servers then not have it installed. The type casting part of said question is do the the fact I currently use type casting for $_POST/$_GET variables and timestamp fields in a few on my DB tables to compare them with time().
