This should work for you, this recursive function loops the array, if it gets array again, calls itself function convert2int($var) { foreach($var as $k => $v ) {
       if(is_array($v)) {
           $var[$k]=convert2int($v);
       } else {
           $var[$k]=str_replace(',',$v);
       }
} return $var; } $_POST=convert2int($_POST); drparker@clam.rutgers.edu wrote:
I have a bunch of form variables that I need to process as integers. The problem is that some users are writing in values with commas - e.g. 100,000, and that isn't read as an integer. There's more than one variable so I don't want to have to do a string replace for each one. Is there a general way to curb this problem? Thanks, Doug
