PHP variable is not shown as an integer

Question

if($koltukk%4 == 2){
    if($koltukk > 1000){
    $koltukH = "B";
    (int)$koltukR = ($koltukk / 4) + 1;//Doesnt work (int)
            }
    else{
    $koltukH = "E";
    (int)$koltukR = ($koltukk / 4) + 1;//Doesnt work (int)

        }


    }

$koltukR = ($koltukk / 4) + 1;

I want to get the $koltukR variable as an integer but i couldn't do it (int) did not work

Get rid of the (int)'s. They aren't valid in PHP the way you are using them. — John Conde

I am curious, @John Conde, why do you put your answer in the comments instead of writing an answer? I have seen that before but I don't understand... — Fabien Warniez

@DamienPirsy he is not, you are getting confused with the variable names. It is $koltukH and $koltukk — Junior

You need to use the (int) casting on the other side of the assignment operator:

$koltukR = (int)(($koltukk / 4) + 1);

Or, use intval() like this:

$kolturR = intval(($koltukk / 4) + 1);

$koltukR = intval(($koltukk / 4) + 1);

You should use better variable names, move the math out of the if/else since both are the same, and you shouldn't even need to cast this as an int manually.

PHP has an intval() method that turns a variable into an integer. Pass in your variable as a parameter.

<?php

if($koltukk%4 == 2)
{
    if($koltukk > 1000)
    {
        $koltukH = "B";
        $koltukR = (int)(($koltukk / 4) + 1);
    } else{
        $koltukH = "E";
        $koltukR = (int)(($koltukk / 4) + 1);    
    }
}

echo $koltukR;

?>

One important note here: intval() is NOT round(). intval() is similar to floor().

I think what you really want is round():

Here's the real answer: K.I.S.S.

if($k%4 == 2){
    if($k > 1000){
        $H = "B"    
    }
    else{
        $H = "E";
    }    
}
$R = round($k / 4) + 1;

Stealing an example from https://www.php.net/intval to illustrate:

echo number_format(8.20*100, 20), "<br />";
echo intval(8.20*100), "<br />";
echo floor(8.20*100), "<br />";
echo round(8.20*100), "<br />";

Good to point out that this can definitely be refactored, though not actually answering the original question about integer type casting.
