mysql integer field is returned as string in php

1When you select data from a MySQL database using PHP the datatype will always 
2be converted to a string. You can convert it back to an integer using the 
3following code:
4
51. $id = (int) $row['userid'];
6
72. For Laravel you can also use cast variable inside your model where you can 
8   set them as integer.
9   
10   Example :  protected $casts = [
11                  'default' => 'integer',
12                  'phonecode' => 'integer',
13              ];
