Well, since is_numeric('.101972E+00') works on it's own, there must be
something else coming with it from the file that makes it fail. Try to
trim() each number before you test it. Maybe that'll help.---John Holmes... ----- Original Message ----- From: "fmendezpalma" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, February 07, 2003 7:29 AM Subject: [PHP] is_numeric fails and don't know why Hi, I'm trying to read a file that contains a group of numbers, each of them in one line of the file. I need to verify that the file is valid, so i read line by line and test if the line is numeric: ... $line = fgets ($FileDesc); $line = trim ($line); if (!is_numeric ($line)) return 0; ... It doesn't work for the first and last line of the file. Last line is a \r, so perhaps it's normal, but I don't understand why it fails with first line. Example: .101972E+00 (first line) -.122713E+01 .784379E-01 -.135826E+01 -.217017E+01 ... first line is not considered as a number. Rest of lines are considered as numbers. Where is the problem? Thanks for your help. _____________________________________________________________________ Horas ilimitadas para leer y enviar correos con Tarifa Plana Wanadoo ¡¡ desde las 3 de la tarde!!
