It's without additional space:
$bar = (int)$foo;

Can you please point to the agreement you mention?
Albeit isFirstPartOfStr() is an additional function call, it is more
readable. That does not mean, that all occurrences of strpos() or the
like need to be replaced with isFirstPartOfStr(). It's a suggestion to
use isFirstPartOfStr() instead of a strict ("must") requirement.

All the best,
Olly
