You can use $my_int = intval($string) or $my_int = (int)$string

But note that they will only work as desired on strings like "123" or strings starting with a numerical value.

intval("123 comes before 456") returns 123

however

intval("what comes after 123") returns 0 because leftmost character must be numerical.
