    bool is_numeric ( mixed $var )

• $var: Variable to be detected

• Return value: TRUE if the specified variable is a number or numeric string, otherwise it returns FALSE, pay attention to floating point Type returns a null value, which is FALSE.

if(is_numeric($str)) 
   echo('是数字');
else
   echo('不是数字');

<?php
if($str)
{　　
if(eregi("^[0-9]+$",$str))　
　{　　　　
　  $str=(int)$str;　　
　}else{　　　　
　  echo "获取到的数据不是有效的数字类型，操作将停止!";
