New Comment:
settype() returns true or false, not the modified variable: it takes the given
variable by reference and modifies it in-place. As a result, you're testing the
return value (which is expected to be boolean) and not the modified $z, which is
overwritten.

Description:
------------
---
From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.settype
---
The version is actually 5.3.5 but is not in the dropdown
When using settype on an integer it will not respond as an integer in is_int.
Test script:
---------------
$z = 5; //int by default
$z = settype($z,"int"); //unneeded but shows bug
if (is_int($z)) {
echo "int";
} else {
echo "not int";
}
//output: not int
use instead:
$z = intval($z); //output: int
Expected result:
----------------
int
Actual result:
--------------
not int
