Check if integer _value_

/ Published in: PHP
Save to your folder(s)
PHP has is_numeric, and is_int, but this is a not a complete set. Is_numeric doesn't maintain that the value is strictly an integer, and is_int returns true if the TYPE of the variable is an integer. This returns whether a variable holds an integer value as either a true int, or as a string.
