Assuming that you actually wanted true on that last one, any of the
following should do:
if(preg_match('/^[0-9]+$/',$variable))
if(preg_match('/^\d+$/',$variable))
if(ereg('^[0-9]+$',$variable))
if(ereg('^[[:digit:]]+$',$variable))
If you don't consider zero a valid "number", you can use either of these
instead:
if(preg_match('/^[1-9]+$/',$variable))
if(ereg('^[1-9]+$',$variable))
