Re: Str to Int

You should be able to typecast the variable like so: $cardID = (int)$cardID; You can also check which type it is showing up as with the function gettype(): http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.gettype.php Optionally you could use settype() to change the type of the variable: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.settype.php HTH -- Ray Hauge Programmer/Systems Administrator American Student Loan Services http://www.americanstudentloan.com 1.800.575.1099 On Friday 20 January 2006 03:53 pm, Ron Eggler (Paykiosks) wrote: > Hi, > > I need to do a type cast from string to int in folllowing code: > [php] > <getPIN cardID="'.intval(trim($cardID)).'" quantity="1" /> > [/php] > I need $cardID have converted to int.
