THIS JUST IN: @WebandPHP Embrace Women in an attempt to Enhance PHPness and Boost Subscriptions

< sarcasm >

(PHP) -- A massive sexist storm spanning the globe dumped thousands of foreign messages on unsuspecting geeks as they watched as their tweet stream, normally depicting handy references to JS resources, object oriented design structures and REGEX utilities, turned into a thick sludge of sadness and despair, dividing the community.

Observers agreed, the divide also provided a distinct benefit by making easy work of identifying and arresting misogynist asshats who threaten the very fabric of a community, a community known for communicating using curly brackets, semi-colons and now, with PHP 5.3, namespaces.

Those detained now await no trail, but are able to exercise their right to a quick tagging and permanent display on the Geek Feminist Wiki.

How do you determine if a value is an Integer?
<?php
// Case 1 Produces:
// int_of_value: 0 is equal to value: dog
$value = 'dog';
$int_of_value = (int) $value;
if ($int_of_value == $value) {
echo 'int_of_value: ' . $int_of_value . ' is equal to value: ' . $value;
