Description:
------------
If string contains hexadecimal number, such as '0x05' it correctly explicitly 
casts to integer(resulting zero):
php > var_dump((int) '0x05');
int(0)
but incorrectly casts implicitly (resulting its value, 5)
php > var_dump(1 * '0x05');
int(5)

Same for floats:

php > var_dump((float) '0xffffffffff');
float(0)
php > var_dump(1 * '0xffffffffff');
float(1099511627775)

P.S.: Tests were made on x86 (i686) Linux machine.


Test script:
---------------
<?php
var_dump(1 * '0x05');
var_dump(1 * '0xffffffffff');




Expected result:
----------------
int(0)
float(0)

Actual result:
--------------
int(5)
float(1099511627775)

IMO the behavior of the implicit type juggling is correct,
and the result of the explicit type cast is erroneous in this regard.

Anyway, both results should match.

Fixed in PHP 7, by removing hex-string support in the cases where it existed.
