wrong results: sum of two variables - php

Question

I have a simple problem, but I can't solve it, still.
Working code
(int)$sum_price=4;
(int)$price_per_sum = (int)$spo[$key]*(int)$gpp['price'];
echo $sum_price = ($sum_price + $price_per_sum);
When I change 4 to a variable, the result of sum() is string.
Result becomes a string
$spo[$key] = 1;
$gpp['price'] = 2;
(int)$sum_price=4;
(int)$price_per_sum = (int)$spo[$key]*(int)$gpp['price'];
echo $sum_price = ($sum_price + $price_per_sum);
The result is 42 but should be 6, instead. Using (int) does not change my result.
Problem code
# Get All Payment
(int)$sum_price = 0;
$sum_price_product = explode('|',$_SESSION['product']);
$spo = explode('|',$_SESSION['order']);
foreach($sum_price_product as $key=>$spp)
{
if($spp!='')
{
$get_product_price = $dbc->select("sh_product"," id = '{$spp}'","id");
$gpp = mysql_fetch_array($get_product_price['sql']);
(int)$price_per_sum = $spo[$key] * $gpp['price'];
$sum_price = $sum_price + $price_per_sum;
echo $sum_price;
}
}

Answer 1

Type Casting is not necessary in this case...
And please put the right associative array key its "price"or 'price' not just price...
$sum_price = 4;
$price_per_sum = $spo[$key] * $gpp['price'];
$sum_price = ($sum_price + $price_per_sum);
echo $sum_price;
And your Example :
$spo[$key] = 1;
$gpp['price'] = 2;
$sum_price = 4;
$price_per_sum = $spo[$key] * $gpp['price'];
$sum_price = ($sum_price + $price_per_sum);
echo $sum_price;
# Get All Payment
(int)$sum_price=0;
$sum_price_product = explode('|',$_SESSION['product']);
$spo = explode('|',$_SESSION['order']);
foreach($sum_price_product as $key=>$spp)
{
if($spp!='')
{
$get_product_price = $dbc->select("sh_product"," id = '{$spp}'","id");
$gpp = mysql_fetch_array($get_product_price['sql']);
(int)$price_per_sum = $spo[$key]*$gpp['price'];
$sum_price = $sum_price + $price_per_sum;
echo $sum_price;
}
}

Answer 2

Casting is not required in this case. Please review below code and try it out,its working for me:
$spo[0] = 1;
$gpp['price'] = 2;
$sum_price=4;
$price_per_sum = $spo[0]*$gpp['price'];
$sum_price = $sum_price + $price_per_sum;
echo $sum_price;
Here in $spo[0], i have considered single value but you can replace '0' by $key in loop construct.
