Note Submitter: Ister ---- [*EDIT* by danbrown AT php DOT net: Merged user's corrected code with previous post content.] jeremys indicated one thing - there is no sgn function wich actually seems a bit strange for me. Of course it is as simple as possible, but it is usefull and it is a standard math function needed occasionally. Well, I have solved this function in a bit different matter: <?php function sgn($liczba) { if($liczba>0) $liczba=1; else if($liczba<0) $liczba=-1; else if(!is_numeric($liczba)) $liczba=null; else $liczba=0; return $liczba; } ?> The difference is that it returns null when the argument isn't a number at all.
