PHP isnt very picky about numbers, strings and other data types.
'0x' in general is a Prefix for hexdecimal numbers in computing.

PHP sees this:

Code: Select all

$number = 12; # thats a number: 12
$string = '0x0' . $number; # thats a string, "0x012"
$int = 0; $int += $string; # $string is converted to integer, $int is now 18 decimal or 0x12 hexdecimal

That should be all you need to solve the rest - probably
