How do you convert a string to an integer in PHP

To convert a string to an integer in PHP, you can use the built-in functions such as intval() or simply perform a typecast. Here's an example of how to do that:


        $stringNumber = "1234"; // This is a string
        $integerNumber = intval($stringNumber); // Convert string to integer
        // Alternative method
        $integerNumber = (int)$stringNumber; // Also converts string to integer

        echo $integerNumber; // Outputs: 1234
