如果你事先不知道你有一个浮点数还是一个整数，如果字符串可能包含特殊字符（如空格、欧元等），并且如果它可以包含多于1个点或逗号，您可以使用此功能：

// This function strip spaces and other characters from a string and return a number.
// It works for integer and float.
// It expect decimal delimiter to be either a '.' or ','
// Note: everything after an eventual 2nd decimal delimiter will be removed.
function stringToNumber($string) {
    // return 0 if the string contains no number at all or is not a string:
    if (!is_string($string) || !preg_match('/\d/', $string)) {
        return 0;
    } 

    // Replace all ',' with '.':
    $workingString = str_replace(',', '.', $string);

    // Keep only number and '.':
    $workingString = preg_replace("/[^0-9.]+/", "", $workingString);

    // Split the integer part and the decimal part,
    // (and eventually a third part if there are more 
    //     than 1 decimal delimiter in the string):
    $explodedString = explode('.', $workingString, 3);

    if ($explodedString[0] === '') {
        // No number was present before the first decimal delimiter, 
        // so we assume it was meant to be a 0:
        $explodedString[0] = '0';
    } 

    if (sizeof($explodedString) === 1) {
        // No decimal delimiter was present in the string,
        // create a string representing an integer:
        $workingString = $explodedString[0];
    } else {
        // A decimal delimiter was present,
        // create a string representing a float:
        $workingString = $explodedString[0] . '.' .  $explodedString[1];
    }

    // Create a number from this now non-ambiguous string:
    $number = $workingString * 1;

    return $number;
}

如果你想要一个字符串的数值，但因为不确定而不想将其转换为float/int，这个技巧会将其转换成正确的类型：

function get_numeric($val) {
  if (is_numeric($val)) {
    return $val + 0;
  }
  return 0;
}

Example:
<?php
get_numeric('3'); // int(3)
get_numeric('1.2'); // float(1.2)
get_numeric('3.0'); // float(3)
?>

您可以使用：

(int)(your value);

或者您可以使用：

intval(string)

实现这一目标的多种方式之一是：

$fileDownloadCount          =  (int) column_data_from_db;
$fileDownloadCount++;

第二行将值递增1。

$a = "10";

$b = (int)$a;

您可以使用它在PHP中将字符串转换为int。

现在我们正处于一个严格/强类型在PHP中具有更大重要性的时代，我使用json_decode：

$num = json_decode('123');

var_dump($num); // outputs int(123)

$num = json_decode('123.45');

var_dump($num); // outputs float(123.45)
