If you note in my text I had said number. 5.7 is a number. If you want
to convert the number to an integer then there are a number of php
functions to do that. It all depends on how you want the conversion to
be done but a type cast (int) will eventually be necessary.

Subject: Re: [PHP-WIN] Newbie question: convert string to int
If you are holding a string with a valid number in it e.g. "5.7" then
the conversion is done automatically. See the manual section Language
Reference / Types / Strings / String conversion to numbers. If you are
holding a string with the number in words e.g. "Five" then you'll need
to write your own function for that.
