Be careful with the implicit int to string cast : If <? $i = strlen(123456); ?> strlen will return ``6'' and won't print any error, 123456 is casted to "123456" This is not harmful, but could be, so, if needed ; protect yourself with the is_numeric function. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strlen.php Edit Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+33697 Delete Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+33697&report=yes Reject Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+33697&report=yes
