I usually just add zero to a string to force a conversion. eg. $x = '123'; $int = $x + 0; You might also want to use the is_numeric() function to validate data first? At 10:47 AM 3/10/2004, you wrote:
Try using the intval() function
intval('1000');     // will result in 1000
intval('1000ABC'); // will result in 1000 Amit www.digitalamit.com Darryl wrote:
Hay, Is there a way to make a string into an integer? I have a value coming from a textbox and I want to check if the amount in it is < 10000. Thanks, Darryl
