Re: Converting variables to integer

function str2int($str) { $str = str_replace(',', $str); // http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.str-replace.php settype($str, "integer"); // http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.settype.php if (is_int($str)) // http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.is-int.php return $str; else return false; } Loop through your form variables and call this function.
