@robert at mediamonks dot com & withheld at withheld dot com: I personally believe more in solutions than problems. If you're concerned about the possibility of an int type variable being passed to ctype_digit()--and don't want to add another conditional statement using is_int() to avoid the problem--there's another simple solution: typecast it. <?php // The Problem $test_values = array(123,'456','7eight9'); foreach($test_values as $test) { if(ctype_digit($test)) echo 'True' . "\n"; else echo 'False' . "\n"; } // OUTPUT: False, True, False // An Easy Solution $test_values = array(123,'456','7eight9'); foreach($test_values as $test) { if(ctype_digit((string)$test)) echo 'True' . "\n"; else echo 'False' . "\n"; } // OUTPUT: True, True, False ?> ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 64.118.163.18 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ctype-digit.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/77119 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77119/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77119/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77119/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77119/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77119/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77119/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77119 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/77119 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
