You do not have to explicitly convert an int to a char.

>From the manual:
http://us3.php.net/manual/en/language.types.type-juggling.php
"PHP does not require (or support) explicit type definition in variable
declaration; a variable's type is determined by the context in which
that variable is used."

PHP will simply interpret the variable as a char when the context calls
for a char and an int when the context wants an int. As for what your
other problem is, I'm not sure, but type conversion isn't the cause.
