Impossibile determinare se una stringa è attualmente un numero intero o meno

Question

Il seguente funciton mi ha spinto dadi.Come in Terra 100x potrebbe essere uguale a 100 e poi 100x è riportato come un numero intero?
Per la vita di me, non riesco a capirlo. Puoi copiare e incollare il tutto e vederlo per te.
Mi manca un semplice punto da qualche parte qui, aiutami fuori dai ragazzi.

function blp_int($val) {
    $orgval = $val;
    $num = (int)$val;    
    echo "<li><font color=red>val: ". $val . " is being checked to see if it's an integer or not";
    echo "<li><font color=red>orgval: ". $orgval ;
    echo "<li><font color=red>num: ". $num ;
    if ($orgval==$num) {
        echo "<li><font color=red><b>YES IT IS! the [{$orgval}] is equal to [{$num}]</b>";
        return true;
    }
    return false;
}

if (blp_int("100"))
{
    echo "<h1>100 is an integer!</h1>";
}
else
{
    echo "<h1>100 is NOT an integer!</h1>";
}

if (blp_int("100x"))
{
    echo "<h1>100x is an integer!</h1>";
}
else
{
    echo "<h1>100x is NOT an integer!</h1>";
}

.

Il codice sopra, quando esegui la corsa ritorna il seguente;

val: 100 is being checked to see if it's an integer or not
orgval: 100
num: 100
YES IT IS. the [100] is equal to [100]
100 is an integer!

val: 100x is being checked to see if it's an integer or not
orgval: 100x
num: 100
YES IT IS. the [100x] is equal to [100]
100x is an integer!

.

Posso rimediare alla situazione aggiungendo i seguenti bit

    if (!is_numeric($val))
    {
        return false;
    }

.

alla parte superiore della funzione BLP_INT proprio fuori dal pipistrello ma, .. Sono ancora super curioso di scoprire perché sulla Terra PHP pensa che 100x= 100 siano uguali.

Answer 1

As you can see in this example, casting 100x as an integer converts it to 100. Since you are not using strict comparison, '100x' == 100 is true. PHP removes the x from it to make just 100.

You could use strict comparison (which also compares the types), such that '100x' === 100 would return false. Using it, any time a string was compared to an integer, it would return false.

---

As per your edit: is_numeric may not be the most reliable, as it will return true for numbers formatted as a string, such as '100'. If you want the number to be an integer (and never a string), you could use is_integer instead. I'm not quite sure what exactly you're doing, but i thought I'd add this note.

Answer 2

I think you should use three equal signs in your IF:

if ($orgval===$num) {

Otherwise PHP casts the value 100x to 100 and 100=100.

Answer 3

What kind of check do you want to do? There are a few ways you could go about it:

if (preg_match('!^[0-9]+$!', $input))

if (intval($input) == $input)

if (intval($input) === $input)

if ('x'.intval($input) === 'x'.$input)

It depends on how closely you want to check if it's an integer. Does it matter if you need to trim() it first?

Answer 4

Either cast it to an int or try http://php.net/manual/en/function.ctype-digit.php. You also need === in your if.
