Regarding the previous proposal for "ctype_int()", I'd like to point out that, technically speaking, "ctype_int" is a contradiction in terms. The ctype_ functions are about verifying that all characters in a given text are of a certain type. Being an integer is about the text taken as a whole, not about individual characters. So, if you want to be very pedant and rigurous, call the function either "text_is_int()", or "ctype_digitminus()". :) ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 194.88.148.6 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ctype-digit.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/106321 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/106321/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/106321/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/106321/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/106321/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/106321/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/106321/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/106321 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/106321 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
