[RESOLVED] Simple Form to Check Entry Type... Not Echoing?

[gsteak]

Hi guys. I need to write a simply conditional statement to check what kind of value the submission is. I'm trying to get the first part to run, but it's not working. What am I doing wrong?

<?php
if (isset($_POST['submit']) && isset($_POST['entry']))
    {
	$entry = ($_POST['entry']);
	if (is_int($entry))
        {
		echo "integer";
		}
else {
//not finished yet
}
	}

?>

Try using is_numeric() instead.

From php.net:

To test if a variable is a number or a numeric string (such as form input, which is always a string), you must use is_numeric()

Thanks for the tip. =] I ended up figuring out that all returns from a form text input is read as a string.
