Cast string to integer in PHP [duplicate]

There is not problem if you dont put spaces between $ and varname and assign the result of the cast to a variable.

<?php $Pux = "89"; var_dump ($Pux); $t = (int)$Pux; var_dump ($t); ?> 

Output =

string(2) "89" int(89) 

The easiest way to convert a string to a number:-

<?php $Pux = "89"; // Or any other number $Num = (int) $pux; ?> 

If you are still getting a zero there might be some odd, invisible chars in front of the number. To test for that :-

echo "($Pux)";

You can convert string to integer in two ways:

Typecasting or intval function

<?php $pux = "89"; var_dump($pux); $pux = (int) $pux; var_dump($pux); $pux = "89"; $pux = intval($pux); var_dump($pux); ?> 

The code below removes the non numeric characters::

function numeric( $st_data ) { $st_data = preg_replace("([[:punct:]]|[[:alpha:]]| )",'',$st_data); return $st_data; } 

As var_dump($Pux); outputs string(6) "89" (not string(2)), it means your string contains 6 symbol, I think they are 4 single brackets (') and 89. So try to remove brackets from your string:

$Pux = str_replace("'", '', $Pux);

or remove double brackets too (for safe)

$Pux = strtr($Pux, array("'" => '', '"' => ''));

EDITED

will be good to remove all non numeric values:

$Pux = preg_replace("/[^0-9,.]/", "", $Pux); 

and then convert to integer.

Thanks.

I had the same mistake. Indeed when i did var_dump($myvar). it returns string(2) "89" and when i did all the casts fonctions it returned me 0. I search and finally the answer is in this page. So I share with you what i learned. You have just to do a regex php : $myvar = preg_replace("/[^0-9,.]","",$myvar). It removes all the not number in your string (in my case the string(2)).
