#23158 [NEW]: a new digit checker

From: melkor at dance dot student dot utwente dot nl Operating system: linux PHP version: 5CVS-2003-04-10 (dev) PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: a new digit checker For ID's in databases, a simple is_digit($mixed) check would be nice. is_numeric($mixed) also accepts 1.0E10 and such values, which are not valid for integer database IDs. ctype_digit($string) returns false for any integer it gets, because ctype_digit(4500) gets translated to isdigit(4500) which of course is not a valid ascii character at all. This might seem a little far fetched, but lots and lots of code uses is_numeric checks where they should not. I do this too, because otherwise I need 2 checks (is_integer($var) || ctype_digit($var)).. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=23158&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23158&r=trysnapshot Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23158&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23158&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23158&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23158&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23158&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23158&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23158&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23158&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23158&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23158&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23158&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23158&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23158&r=gnused
