[Resolved] Simple if(!is_int($number)) {....

[jonki]

I have inserted a very simple line into my php code and although it should work it doesn't.

I just need to check that the user is not putting in commas or spaces in the numbers that s/he is inserting.

if(!is_int($precio))
{die ('Por favor - introduzca el Precio sin espacios, comas ni puntos');
}

Precio - comes from a text field in a html document.

What happens is that whatever I insert into the document - I always get this error coming up and the thing stops.

Why is it assuming that everything is not an integer?

Thanks a lot to anyone who can help (without calling me stupid .....)

Cheers

Jon

"1" is a string. 1 is an integer. Both are numeric.

Use [man]is_numeric[/man] instead.
