Can you help me understand why the $type shows an error - Error: Type must be a valid integer

preocess_form.php

<?php
 
$db_host = "localhost";
$db_username = "root";
$db_pass = "";
$db_name = "sc_test";
 
$con = mysqli_connect($db_host, $db_username, $db_pass) or die("Could not connect to MySQL");
mysqli_select_db($con, $db_name) or die("Could not select database");
 
if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
// Retrieve form data
$sku = $_POST['sku'] ?? '';
$name = $_POST['name'] ?? '';
$price = $_POST['price'] ?? '';
$type = $_POST['type'] ?? '';
$attribute = $_POST['attribute'] ?? '';
 
// Validate the type value
if (!is_numeric($type)) {
die("Error: Type must be a valid integer");
}
$type = intval($type);
 
// Perform the database query to insert the data
$query = "INSERT INTO products (sku, name, price, type, attribute) VALUES ('$sku', '$name', '$price', '$type', '$attribute')";
mysqli_query($con, $query) or die("Query failed: " . mysqli_error($con));
 
// Redirect to the product list page
