Re: [PHP] integer checking problem from query string

It's a string, not an integer. Try using is_numeric() instead. To see what type it is, do this : echo gettype($phonenumber); // prints string You may want to strip all non-numbers first, just in case they enter : 333-333- Something like : $phonenumber = preg_replace('/[^0-9]/','
