Note Submitter: phpguru at gmx dot ch ---- To Logan: There's also a simple non-regexp way to convert a (form) value into an integer if it consists of numbers only - although with a trap (see below): if ($_POST["number"] == (int)$_POST["number"]) $_POST["number"] = (int)$_POST["number"]; The "traps" (or "side effects") appear with values like "" (empty string) and false (boolean), which are converted to 0 (integer). But in certain cases this might be desirable or/and usefull ;-) Solutions like if (($_POST["number"] + 1 - 1) == $_POST["number"]) ... falls into the same category.
