return (int) $param;
}

intExample #2 Usage on built-in functions
<?php
$reflection2 = new ReflectionFunction('array_merge');
var_dump($reflection2->getReturnType());The above example will output:
nullThis is because many internal functions do not have types specified for their parameters or return values. It is therefore best to avoid using this method on built-in functions.
