New Comment:
Yes, the documentation in this needs a cleanup. I found this page
better explaining what happens and when/why:
http://www.php.net/intval
The http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.integer.php
page
requires some care too, it's too long. (split/add urls to topics,
whatever...)

Description:
------------
The function gettype() changes your data without any notice of
warning!
In the documentation it is also not mentioned that settype($var, 'int')
has a max of 2147483647
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
$var = '12345678901234567890';
settype($var, 'int');
echo $var;
?>
Expected result:
----------------
12345678901234567890
or
WARNING: settype() too big integer
Actual result:
--------------
2147483647
