How to cast type by the object that is to be assigned?

Question

I need to do something like:

$object = (typeof($object))$value;

Knowing that both $object and $value are scalar types.

this is not possible in PHP see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2226103/how-to-cast-objects-in-php you need to write our own casting function — jDolba, Jan 22 '19 at 03:53

if(settype($copy, gettype($object)))
    $object = $copy;
