You can typecast values as well, this may be a good way to achieve what you are looking for: if ((int)$var != 0) { // Do Something } Also, if you are going to use this variable as an integer later you can do the following to explicitly convert $var into an integer: $var = (int)$var; That should convert "0" into the integer value 0. Also, note the following: var_dump(0 == "0"); //bool(true) var_dump(0 === "0"); //bool(false) -- Adam Bregenzer adam@bregenzer.net http://adam.bregenzer.net/
