note 60436 added to function.is-int

I would like to say that is_int() is pretty helpfull when looking for neat proper ways to check functions that return either integers or booleans (false) on failure (strpos, socket_select, etc.) <?php function mySelect() { global $someSockets; $ret = socket_select($someSockets, $o = array(), $e = array(), 0); if (!$ret) return is_int($ret); /* FURTHER PROCESSING HERE */ return true; // Return true if the function proceeded as expected. } ?> The point of doing this is that if you put this in a while() loopo, you'll break it when the select fails. <?php while (mySelect()); ?> Hope you get the point - toxik ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.is-int.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+60436 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60436&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60436&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60436&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60436&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60436&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60436&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60436&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+60436&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
