The thing is, is_numeric() will not check if a string is a valid int, but any valid number, including a float. For something like this, wouldn't a regex be better? if(preg_match('/^\-?\d+$/', $string))
     echo int
I'm late in on this thread so apologies if I have missed something here .. but wouldn't is_int() do what the OP wants?
