note 34038 added to function.is-int

Although this can be inferred from the documentation, beware of numeric strings. I ran into the problem in a MySQL app where I would either SELECT an INT PRIMARY KEY or INSERT a new record and use mysql_insert_id() to get the KEY before continuing onto the new section. I used is_int() to make sure the subsequent queries wouldn't break when using the key variable. Unfortunately I failed to realize that while mysql_insert_id() returns an int, mysql_result() always returns a string even if you are SELECTing from an INT field. Spent at least 30 minutes trying to figure out why existing records weren't getting linked, but new records would link fine. I ended up using intval() on mysql_result() to make sure subsequent queries still always work. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.is-int.php Edit Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+34038 Delete Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+34038&report=yes Reject Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+34038&report=yes
