I'll take a wild stab at it, though, and suggest that if you care about data types that much, then you should be converting your $_GET/$_POST to (int) in the first place. Plus, you should be converting your $_GET/$_POST data to (int) when appropriate for your data scrubbing (security). So, really, you should have: <?php $curval = (int) (isset($_GET['curval']) ? $_GET['curval'] : 0); ... your_function(1337, $curval); ... ?> Then you can use === in your function safely. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm
