intval
(PHP 4, PHP 5)
intval — Get the integer value of a variable
Description
Returns the integer value of var , using the specified base for the conversion (the default is base 10).
Parameters
- var
-
The scalar value being converted to an integer
- base
-
The base for the conversion (default is base 10)
Return Values
The integer value of var on success, or 0 on failure. Empty arrays and objects return 0, non-empty arrays and objects return 1.
The maximum value depends on the system. 32 bit systems have a maximum signed integer range of -2147483648 to 2147483647. So for example on such a system, intval('1000000000000') will return 2147483647. The maximum signed integer value for 64 bit systems is 9223372036854775807.
Strings will most likely return 0 although this depends on the leftmost characters of the string. The common rules of integer casting apply.

Notes
Note: The base parameter has no effect unless the var parameter is a string.
