How does PHP handle weak typing when performing operations between strings and integers?

When performing operations between strings and integers in PHP, weak typing can lead to unexpected results as PHP will automatically convert data types. To solve this issue, you can explicitly cast the variables to the desired data type before performing the operation. 

$string = "10";
$integer = 5;

$result = (int)$string + $integer;

echo $result; // Output: 15
