this is for most cases a bugfix where before PHP7.1 when something returned scientific notation because of 0.0000000000001 you got weird results and lost data 

i have some workarounds in several scripts to prevent that which are ugly

if(strpos($out, 'E') || strpos($out, 'e'))
{
 $out = rtrim(number_format((float)$out, 20), '0');
}

Numerical string conversions now respect scientific notation
Integer operations and conversions on numerical strings now respect scientific notation. This also includes the (int) cast operation, and the following functions: intval() (where the base is 10), settype(), decbin(), decoct(), and dechex()

As noted, this was a deliberate change, and it was part of an improvement to numeric strings as a whole.

how can we call this string(354e3318D2174C4196I7371p2214T3183F6594X2108) as numerical string?

php 7.1.2

php -r "echo intval('354e3318D2174C4196I7371p2214T3183F6594X2108');"

output: 0

why should it be 0?  

other previous version series

php -r "echo intval('354e3318D2174C4196I7371p2214T3183F6594X2108');"

output: 354

The numeric value extracted is 354e3318, which is float(INF). Converting that to int will give 0.
