PHP Practice 2

The document contains three PHP programs demonstrating variable type testing, changing types using settype(), and casting variables. Each program illustrates how to declare variables, check their types, and convert them between different types such as integer, string, double, and boolean. The output of each operation is displayed, showing the type and value of the variables at each step.
