Hi. I know that when forms get submitted, all the fields are strings. Suppose I have an age field and I want to check to see if somebody is over 13, I have this: if(is_int($age)){ if($age <= 13){ include('age_error.html'); } } else{ $ageflag = 1; include('userform2.php3'); } Now, do I need to covert $age to int first or does PHP automatically do this. Thanks. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get Yahoo! Mail - Free email you can access from anywhere! http://mail.yahoo.com/
