[SOLVED] turn 05 -> 5

[chico1st]

Hi I was wondering how I can turn a string that is "05" into a string that is "5"

Thanks

$x = $x + 0;
echo $x;

[boo_lolly]

$x = $x + 0;
echo $x;

 

will this turn $x into an intiger or will it stay a string? why?

<?php
echo "05";
echo "<br>";
echo (integer)("05");
?>

var_dump($var) will tell you the type of a variables.  Very handy for those type-related debugging sessions.

$x = 05;//Here $x is Octal

$x = 5;//Here $x is Int

$x = "05";//Here $x is String

$y = (integer)($x);//Now $y is int and is 5

echo gettype($y);
