PHP is a loosely and dynamically typed language, so there's no need to
explicitly convert from string to integer, in most cases.

If you want to convert from hex to decimal, check out the hexdec
function. See: http://php.net/hexdec

To convert a binary string to an integer, you can use bindec(): See
http://php.net/bindec

$dec = intval(bindec($binaryString));
