is_numeric will test if it's a numeric string. Maybe is_int should do the same, but apparently it doesn't.
What on earth for? If you want content, do is_numeric(). If you want type, do is_int().... Simple. -Sara
PHP lets you get away without worrying about types often enough that people slip up on this. I don't know if most PHP users care if the value of a variable is a "4" or a 4 but yes, it's easy enough to get around. -- Using Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/mail/
