(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7)

is_intFind whether the type of a variable is integer


Description

is_int ( mixed $var ) : bool

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 int, FALSE otherwise.


Examples

Example #1 is_int() example

<?php$values = array(23, "23", 23.5, "23.5", null, true, false);foreach ($values as $value) {    echo "is_int(";    var_export($value);    echo ") = ";    var_dump(is_int($value));}?>

The above example will output:


is_int(23) = bool(true)
is_int('23') = bool(false)
is_int(23.5) = bool(false)
is_int('23.5') = bool(false)
is_int(NULL) = bool(false)
is_int(true) = bool(false)
is_int(false) = bool(false)
