> if ($cardID=''||is_int($cardID)) Two problems with that statement: First of all, this statement _sets_ cardID to '', and then (I think) returns a false value since '' doesn't evaluate to true. You probably wanted ==. Second of all, now that $cardID is '', it certainly isn't an int. It isn't an int, and it wouldn't be an int if you fixed that statement because is_int only tests if it is, actually, an integer. $HTTP_GET_VARS['cardID'] could be '123', but it can't be 123 and so that will be false. From the PHP manual: Note: To test if a variable is a number or a numeric string (such as form input, which is always a string), you must use is_numeric(). -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
