PHP - trying to add two string numbers together, but I can't figure out how

I currently have the variable:

$harryVerJina = "1+2";

and I'm trying to add it to another random integer:

$baldVerJina = $harryVerJina + 3;

the result always seems to be 4, when it should be 6. I'm aware that php usually only takes the first 'int' in a string, but is there any way to bypass this?

remove the quotes $harryVerJina = (1+2); – ATechGuy Oct 27 '17 at 22:27
@ATechGuy i now thats possible, but i need to figure out a solution to this specific concept for a larger scope of my project (which involves pulling an arithmetic equation through a curl) – kevin le Oct 27 '17 at 22:29
@jameslin use eval() or parse it's arithmetic operators – armezit Oct 27 '17 at 22:59
Lol... are those production `vars`? – Ice76 Oct 27 '17 at 23:08
