[SOLVED] int() function

[ababmxking]

Ok so I know about the int() function but it "rounds" all money over like 2,159,000,000 down to that number. I need to know if theres something like a bigint() function?

There is no int() function in php. What are you wanting to do?

[ababmxking]

im trying to remove any other characters that aren't numbers from a $_POST.

 

$amount = intval($_POST['amount']);

 

or something along them lines.

 

sorry i guess it was intval that i was talking about not int.

but it always rounds any number above 2,147,483,647 down to 2,147,483,647. I need something that will remove anything that isnt a number but not have a maximum amount.

[trq]

number_format().

Just tried it and when someone sends say 50bill it changes the amount to like 50 exactly. Im going to read the thing on php.net real quick though

 

edit

 

ok i just read through it, (im not that good with functions) but the way i read it, it adds a comma or decimal every 3 numbers, and since this is going into a database im guessing its cutting off everything after the first comma.

Could i use ereg() somehow.

 

like

 

$amount = $_POST['amount'];

if (ereg('[^A-Za-z0-9]', $amount)) {

echo"You can only use numbers in the amount field!";

} else{

echo"Money transfered";

}
