Compare:
$ php -r 'var_dump(substr("abc", "1"));'
string(2) "bc"
$ php -r 'var_dump(substr("abc", "1sf"));'
PHP Notice: A non well formed numeric value encountered in Command
line code on line 1
string(2) "bc"
$ php -r 'var_dump(substr("abc", "apple"));'
PHP Warning: substr() expects parameter 2 to be long, string given in
Command line code on line 1
NULL
So it's not really how it behaves across the language (especially
since the common paradigm is not run the function if zpp fails, which
it will when passing "apple" to a function expecting an int).
