Hi assuming you want to check the variable in php you need gettype() http://uk2.php.net/manual/en/function.gettype.php the text box can only be done with javascript combined with an event eg <body onload="myform.my_text_box.focus()" <form action="somescript.php" method="post" name="myform" id="myform"> <input type="text" name="my_text_box" id="my_text_box"value="" size="30"> </form> If you need more on the javascript then a specialist javascript list would be better :) Peter > -----Original Message----- > From: Rinku [mailto:rinku_pgsql@xxxxxxxxx] > Sent: 26 June 2004 08:13 > To: php-db@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: require function detail with example > > > 1)I need to check a variable weather it is numeric or > character.
