Simple question

Hi,

I have a simple question:
I have a var that can be sometime below 0 (ex: -5) How can I convert it to positive value (5)? I know with asp I can use int(x)
what is it with php?

Thanks,
Assaf

abs val

$number = abs($number)
examp:
-3.45 = number
-3.45 = abs(-3.45) // comes out to be 3.45!
