post turns int into string

[junebug]

i have a form and i post the values to my script. now, one of the values is an integer. lets say it's one. when i use the is_int() function it returns false. any reason for this? any way to work around it. any help would be great.

thanks in advance.

Hi,
I don't think one can declare the data type at client side.If you want to make sure that value should be INT then you can use javascript (isNaN()).
Each value posted will be treated as String so,the result you are getting.
If you want convert that value to INT
you can do so using (int) $val.
