How do I set a String to an Int

GSR

Hi guys,

I have this data : INT10000
All i want to do is to check it and all that stuff like,

$sn = "INT10000" + 1;
         echo "$sn";

I want the output to be INT10001 but it turns out to be a failure..
Maybe, i need to change it to an Integer???

Any suggestions??

Thanks in advance

Hi..

What you are trying todo is adding integer in to string that you know..

But is it possible ....I said No?

But you can achieve it by this code

$value=substr(3,strlen(INT10000),'INT10000');
//Or the variable is replace by INT10000
$value++;
$newid="INT" + $value;
//and use $newid as your new id

Quite Simple

Just a couple corrections to SG's answer:

"substr()" takes the input string as the first argument; also, since you want all the remaining characters after "INT", the length argument is not necessary.

Using "+" to 'add" string values will give an integer result. Since the first character will be "I" (alphabetic), the integer value will cast to "0" (numeric).

So:

$value = substr('INT10000', 3); 
$value++; 
$newid = "INT" . $value; 
echo $newid; // "INT10001"
