Hi Daniel,

No, I mean if it's numeric, not neccesarily an integer.  As the following
is numeric and not an integer but rather, a string : 

  $num = '123';

Anyone have an authoritative answer on this?  Like, something that would
go in the manual as the official php3 is_numeric check?

Regards,
Philip
