Am I missing something? you could try this: $int_var = (int)$your_form_variable; $int_var now has no choice but to be an integer. If you run: is_int($int_var) it should return TRUE; Do with it what you want. However, keep in mind that if you have non-number digits in $your_form_variable, then the type cast is not going to give you what you expect, but most likely a zero. -jeremy brand _______________________________________________________________________ GnuPG Fingerprint: 9F5E 95E0 1CC2 E054 84EA 6099 8ACD 9DBA D2C0 5EA9 _ http://www.JeremyBrand.com/Jeremy/Brand/Jeremy_Brand.html for more __
