When you make a variable look like a different data type, how is this done in php?

I mean if I try this:

PHP Code:


			
<?php

$string = "Hello World";
$string  = (int) $string;

// This to me sounds like the concept of type casting in php
// Now this only gives me 0 cause theres EDIT: NO -_- integers
// How do I change it back to a string, an integer to a string
// Maybe I don't understand the concept

?>
