is_int - Find whether the type of a variable is integer

SYNOPSIS
       bool is_int (mixed  $var)

DESCRIPTION
	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(3).

PARAMETERS
	      o $var
		- The variable being evaluated.

RETURN VALUES
	Returns TRUE if $var is an integer, FALSE otherwise.

EXAMPLES
       Example #1

	      is_int(3) 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)
