Getting variable from form:
<form method = 'POST' action = ''>
<input type = 'text' name = 'a' size = '1' >
<input type = 'submit' value = 'Find it'>
</form>"
If I enter 1 and use gettype($POST_['a']) it returns me string, is it possible to enter int? because after this I want check if that variable is int.
UPDATE
Got answers that it returns always string and they offered me to use (int) or intval(), but then if it's really string like 'a' it returns 0, but it may be also integer value 0, how to overcome this problem?
UPDATE
After editing typo Brad Christie suggested best way, using is_numeric
