StrVal returns the string value of a variable. (string) is a type cast (or type juggle)

PHP: Type Juggling - Manual

Its all in the manual

Why would you like to cast a datatype in PHP?

Also, using an explicit cast is faster than calling a function.

Just to have some fun, Jim. Why do you think? Because sometimes it's necessary.

P.S. It's a rhetorical question folks.
