From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.intval

Why not to add pass-by-reference option?

That would be such a beautiful thing:

intval(&$var);
strval(&$var);

and so on...

Test script:
---------------
$var = "123";

intval(&$var);

var_dump($var); //int(123)

Expected result:
----------------
int(123)

Call-time pass-by-reference has been explicitly removed from 5.4 and had a warning 
in 5.3. You should not be using it at all.

If you don't want an assignment then use typecasting: var_dump( (int)$var )
