note 47642 added to function.settype

in PHP3 converting a string to any number results in the value becoming 0. To check if a string represents a number try this: <PRE> $test = "0001"; $testcp = $test; settype($testcp,"double"); if (strval($testcp) === $test) { echo("\$test is a number"); } else { echo ("\$test is not a number"); } </PRE> ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.settype.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+47642 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47642&report=yes Reason: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47642&report=yes&reason=bad+code Reason: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47642&report=yes&reason=spam Reason: useless example -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47642&report=yes&reason=useless+example Reason: contains commercial links -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47642&report=yes&reason=contains+commercial+links Reason: useless note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47642&report=yes&reason=useless+note Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+47642&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
