The only thing I wonder about is the code examples you're giving ... I would expect this to work if we start to change something here: var_dump((int) '0x7b'); // int(123) var_dump((int) '0b1111011'); // int(123) var_dump((int) '0123'); // int(123) The last example was not mentioned here before but as you set in an example, I did it here as well ...
