IS_STRING(3) 1 IS_STRING(3)is_string - Find whether the type of a variable is stringSYNOPSIS
bool is_string (mixed $var)
DESCRIPTION
Finds whether the type given variable is string.
PARAMETERS
o $var
- The variable being evaluated.
RETURN VALUES
Returns TRUE if $var is of type string, FALSE otherwise.
EXAMPLES
Example #1
is_string(3) example
<?php
$values = array(false, true, null, 'abc', '23', 23, '23.5', 23.5, '', ' ', '0', 0);
foreach ($values as $value) {
echo "is_string(";
var_export($value);
echo ") = ";
echo var_dump(is_string($value));
}
?>
The above example will output:
is_string(false) = bool(false)
is_string(true) = bool(false)
is_string(NULL) = bool(false)
is_string('abc') = bool(true)
is_string('23') = bool(true)
is_string(23) = bool(false)
is_string('23.5') = bool(true)
is_string(23.5) = bool(false)
is_string('') = bool(true)
is_string(' ') = bool(true)
is_string('0') = bool(true)
is_string(0) = bool(false)

IS_NUMERIC(3) 1 IS_NUMERIC(3)is_numeric - Finds whether a variable is a number or a numeric stringSYNOPSIS
bool is_numeric (mixed $var)
DESCRIPTION
Finds whether the given variable is numeric. Numeric strings consist of optional sign, any number of digits, optional decimal part and
optional exponential part. Thus +0123.45e6 is a valid numeric value. Hexadecimal (e.g. 0xf4c3b00c), Binary (e.g. 0b10100111001), Octal
(e.g. 0777) notation is allowed too but only without sign, decimal and exponential part.
PARAMETERS
o $var
- The variable being evaluated.
RETURN VALUES
Returns TRUE if $var is a number or a numeric string, FALSE otherwise.
