is_int — Find whether the type of a variable is integer

Description

bool is_int ( mixed $var )

Finds whether the type of the given variable is integer.

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().

Parameters

var

The variable being evaluated.

Return Values

Returns TRUE if var is an integer, FALSE otherwise.

Examples

Example #1 is_int() example

<?php
if (is_int(23)) {
    echo "is integer\n";
} else {
    echo "is not an integer\n";
}
var_dump(is_int(23));
var_dump(is_int("23"));
var_dump(is_int(23.5));
var_dump(is_int(true));
?>

The above example will output:

bool(true)
bool(false)
bool(false)
