RE: [PHP-DB] Converting values from text to numerical From: Adam Royle (digitalbalance <email protected>)

Hi Matt,

I think this might be the answer to your problem. It basically checks if
the string is an integer. I generally love the PHP automatic type
conversion, but sometimes it can trick ya.... :)

if (intval($val) == $val){
        // integer stuff
} else {
        // string stuff
}
