Although I can see the use of is_numeric(), I hardly ever use it. Hold on! Before you think I'm insane, let me explain why. Most of the time, when I'm dealing with a numeric input, it's most likely an auto incremented unsigned integer. I'm not sure about other databases, but MySQL starts numbering those columns at 1, so I just intval the incoming variable and handle it at the same time as I would catch an unset or 0 value. -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/security.database.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+30612 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+30612 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+30612
