PHP 4.0 Bug #7850 Updated: settype() function

ID: 7850 Updated by: stas Reported By: carlos@vlcnet.com.br Status: Closed Bug Type: Unknown/Other Function Assigned To: Comments: First, settype returns boolean, see: http://www.php.net/manual/function.settype.php Second, if you want to convert something to integer, use (int)$var, not settype. Third, maximal available integer number in PHP is 2147483647. This is what gets returned. Use $var+0 if you want to get numeric value form string, no matter what large.
