There are ways to also attempt to force an integer. Such as if somebody put in 24a then you could, for instance, typecast that value using (int) and it'd become 24.

However, I wouldn't even bother attempting to purify it. If it's anything other than a number, I would assume they've been fiddling and deny the post.

php Code:

$iNumber = (int) '24a';
var_dump(is_numeric($iNumber)); // True
