stupid question... [atoi]

Anon

Hi,
maybe (sure) this question is stupid and you have answered it so much times, but...

How can I make a C atoi() function in PHP? (string to integer)

Anon

it does it automagically...

eg.
$num1 = "123";
$num2 = "321";

$num3 = $num1 + $num2;

$num3 will then equal the integer 444, this is why + stopped being the concatenation operator for strings (in case you were wondering)

it's pretty smart, as "10 green bottles" + "3 bottles of beer" = 13

hope this helps... if not, give us details of what you want the atoi() for...

I'm using the imap_delete() function. It takes the imap_stream and the message number as arguments.

My page it's not working, and i thought it could be because i have the message number as a string, and i'd like to have it as an integer.

Thank you for your [future] answer ;-)

i dont imagine this would be a problem, as PHP hides all type stuff away from you (although you can force it to cast and stuff if you want)

you can use intval(mixed var [, base]) to evaluate anything to an integer, with a choice of base, but as i said above, PHP is usually smart enough to handle this for you...

what is the value imap_delete() returns... does it reckon its succeeded? if not... what does imap_errors() give you?

and are you using imap_expunge($stream) after marking messages for deletion? i dunno...

i think it's going to be something related with the javascript code in the referrer page, because i noticed that sometimes it works, it depends on the number of items in the referrer page, or something like this.

I knew that the translation string-integer was automatic, but i was (and i'm still) desperated, and anything could be possible O🙂 ... but now it doesn't work and it has nothing to be with php, i think...

Thank you very much!!! 🙂
