cast.deprecated

Code example

<?php declare(strict_types = 1);

$value = (integer) '42';
$flag = (boolean) 1;
$rate = (double) '3.14';

Why is it reported?

PHP 8.5 deprecates non-standard cast syntax variants. The casts (integer), (boolean), (double), and (binary) are aliases for (int), (bool), (float), and (string) respectively. While they have worked historically, they are now deprecated and will be removed in a future PHP version.

How to fix it

Replace the deprecated cast syntax with the standard form:

 <?php declare(strict_types = 1);

-$value = (integer) '42';
-$flag = (boolean) 1;
-$rate = (double) '3.14';
+$value = (int) '42';
+$flag = (bool) 1;
+$rate = (float) '3.14';
