Re: Newbie question: convert string to int

If you note in my text I had said number. 5.7 is a number. If you want to convert the number to an integer then there are a number of php functions to do that. It all depends on how you want the conversion to be done but a type cast (int) will eventually be necessary. graeme BENJAMIN LAMBE wrote:

See the manual section Language Reference / Types / Strings / String conversion to numbers. If you are holding a string with the number in words e.g. "Five" then you'll need to write your own function for that. graeme Louis Young wrote:
