I usually just add zero to a string to force a conversion.
eg. $x = '123'; $int = $x + 0;
You might also want to use the is_numeric() function to validate data first?

Try using the intval() function
intval('1000'); // will result in 1000 intval('1000ABC'); // will result in 1000

Is there a way to make a string into an integer? I have a value coming from a textbox and I want to check if the amount in it is < 10000.
Thanks, Darryl
