# Description

PhpMixedConvert is PHP utility class that provides methods to convert mixed values to strings, ints or floats.

Sometimes there is necessity in a code to ensure that our variable is string, int or float, especially strict types declaration is enabled in the class. On other hand, there is sometimes cases when the exact type is unknown. For example, it happens often in Laravel and probably could happen in any other project/code structure.
