This is why I hate PHP

[Bint]

Can someone tell me why this does not work:

$myBool = imagecopyresized( $tim, $im, 0, 0, $F['mapx'], $F['mapy'],
256, 192, $Fwidth, $Fheight);

And even this does not work:

settype($F['mapx'],"integer");
settype($F['mapy'],"integer");
$myBool = imagecopyresized( $tim, $im, 0, 0, $F['mapx'], $F['mapy'], 256,
192, $Fwidth, $Fheight);


I have to do this instead to get it to work:

$stupidintx = $F['mapx'];
$stupidinty = $F['mapy'];
settype($stupidintx,"integer");
settype($stupidinty,"integer");

$myBool = imagecopyresized( $tim, $im, 0, 0, $stupidintx, $stupidinty,
256, 192, $Fwidth, $Fheight);


Can you not set the type for a construct like $F['mapx']?

Thanks

Must be something else at play

<?php
$array_of_strings=array('foo' => '3');

// confirm element is indeed a string
echo gettype($array_of_strings['foo']); // prints "string"

// can use intval()
echo gettype(intval($array_of_strings['foo'])); //prints "integer"

// or settype() which works for me.
if( settype($array_of_strings['foo'], 'integer'))
{
// this one fires...
echo 'Successfully converted to ' . gettype($array_of_strings['foo']);
}
else
{
echo 'Failed! Element still ' . gettype($array_of_strings['foo']);
}

?>

I don't know man, I didn't change anything else. If I pass $F['mapx'] as an
argument to imagecopyresized, even if I've explicitly set it to type
integer, it does not seem to get the value. I had to use an intermediate
variable to get it to work. You say it must be something else, but if that
is the only thing I changed what else could it be?

What happens when you use intval() instead where it doesn't change
$F['mapx'] but just the return value of the function:

$myBool = imagecopyresized( $tim, $im, 0, 0, intval$F['mapx']),
intval($F['mapy']), 256, 192, $Fwidth, $Fheight);

Would this work...
$myBool = imagecopyresized( $tim, $im, 0, 0, (int)$F['mapx'], (int)$F['mapy'], 256,
192, $Fwidth, $Fheight);
