WIP: Pt tidy up casting
Closes no issue
What does this MR do?
This MR is replacing all outdated casts in the source code. Going from PHP 4 to PHP 5 notation is 6 times faster for such work. I have also replaced our deprecated custom methods for those jobs.
How confident are you it won't break things if deployed?
Not yet finished.
