Note Submitter: ---- 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>
