is_int and GET or POST

Question

Why does is_int always return false in the following situation?

echo $_GET[\'id\']; //3
if(is_int($_GET[\'id\']))
    echo \'int\'; //not execut         


        

Answer 1

You can possibly try the intval() which can be used to test the value of your var. e.g

If(intval($_GET['ID']==0)

The function will check if the var is integer and return TRUE if not FALSE
