I have a very dumb question that I'm puzzled with. I am creating a script that is returning tow values from a DB...The values will either be a number or the word resident so i'm checking for that first...if they are indeed numbers they need to be added together storing the sum in a variable which will give the total later in the script. For some reason I keep getting back a very incorrect value when using the script below:
$total_state_income = 0; $row['CA_state_source_income'] = "14,133"; $row['GA_state_source_income'] = "Resident"; $row['IL_state_source_income'] = "10,556"; if(!strchr($row['CA_state_source_income'],"Resident")) { $total_state_income = $total_state_income + (int)$row['CA_state_source_income']; } if(!strchr($row['GA_state_source_income'],"Resident")) { $total_state_income = $total_state_income + (int)$row['GA_state_source_income']; } if(!strchr($row['IL_state_source_income'],"Resident")) { $total_state_income = $total_state_income + (int)$row['IL_state_source_income']; } When I check the value of $total_state_income it equals 24 not the expected 24,689. The datatype of the values returned from SQL Server are Varchar so I tried typecasting the values to integers before adding them to the running total. What am I doing wrong??
