It is always wrong to assume that some operation, like casting to a resource makes no sense. People will always find some extreme case where it would be useful; like the previous example with mysql. My problem was that I wanted to start daemons from a web interface but the apache filehandles were inherited which caused that apache was unable to restart. If I could only typecast a number to a filehandle and then close it... Instead I had to write a small C program that closes every filehandle and then starts my program. I surely miss Apache2::SubProcess from perl. (Also, in perl you can reopen a file and then close it using IO::Handle module's fdopen. I'm just saying.)
Recursos
Un valor tipo resource es una variable especial, que contiene una referencia a un recurso externo. Los recursos son creados y usados por funciones especiales. Vea el apéndice para un listado de todas estas funciones y los tipos resource correspondientes.
Vea también la función get_resource_type().
Conversión a recurso
Dado que las variables resource contienen gestores especiales a archivos abiertos, conexiones con bases de datos, áreas de pintura de imágenes y cosas por el estilo, la conversión a tipo resource carece de sentido.
Liberación de recursos
Gracias al sistema de conteo de referencias introducido con el Motor Zend de PHP 4, un recurso que ya no es referenciado es detectado automáticamente, y es liberado por el recolector de basura. Por esta razón, rara vez se necesita liberar la memoria manualmente.
Nota: Los enlaces persistentes con bases de datos son una excepción a esta regla. Ellos no son destruidos por el recolector de basura. Vea también la sección sobre conexiones persistentes para más información.

Resources are commonly used to iterate through a mysql or file handle.
example
<?php
while($row = mysql_fetch_row($resource)){
echo $row[0] ;
}
?>
It's possible to fake this treatment.
<?php
class fakewhile{
public $arrayCount;
public $arrayCounter;
function setArrValues(){
$this->arrValues = array(0 =>array("apple","artichoke","apricot"),1 => array("bears","dogs","cats"));
$this->arrayCounter = 0;
$this->arrayCount = count($this->arrValues);
}
function outputValues(){
/*
* Anything until the if statement is evaluted one more
* time then the array count value
*/
$arrayInfo = $this->arrValues;
$arrCounter = $this->arrayCounter;
if($arrCounter > $this->arrayCount){
return false;
}
$endCounter = $arrCounter+1;
$this->arrayCounter = $endCounter;
return $arrayInfo[$arrCounter];
}
}
$fw = new fakewhile();
$fw->setArrValues();
while($row = $fw->outputValues()){
print_r($row);
}
?>
Hopefully will get someone started on completing a complete application.

I spent an hour trying to create mock setup for testing SQL queries. The explanation here, that a resource contains file handlers and therefore there is no sense in trying to create one is lame. Being unable to redefine functions, creating a fake resource was the second thing I tried to put test in place, but looking at the search results, I see I'm the first one to try... For me it looks like security by obscurity.
