Is_Int() or Is_Integer()

[Anon]

I consulted the PHP Manual but the elaboration on these functions is very limited. How can I properly use this function so that the values can be inserted into a table. Here is the code I have:

if (is_int($dataval) {
$valSQL .= "$dataval";
} else {
$valSQL .= "'$dataval'";
}

However this code isnt giving the correct results. Any help is appreciated.

You say the code doesnt give the correct results - what results are you expecting?

As you have typed it, there is a syntax error, you should have put:

if (is_int($dataval)) {

with two closing brackets.

Also, the statements where you use ".=", will add $dataval to the end of the current contents of $valSQL. Is this what you want?

Otherwise, I have tried a similar example, and it gives what I think is the right result ... but its difficult to know quite what your problem is!
