[Phpwm] unsigning a numeric variable

[Phil Beynon]

Regards Stationery
  Hello

  I'm a newcomer to the site so please forgive me if I post messages
incorrectly (and please tell me how to do it properly!)

  Am I missing something obvious, or can you simply use the abs() function
to obtain the absolute value of the number? This could be combined with the
function is_numeric() to do the validation on user input that you need.

  I hope this helps

  Hi Paul,

  abs() was fine, mostly it was just me having a blank moment and completely
forgetting about the command after a seriously long day programming.
  it came out in part like;

  if(!is_numeric($height)){$height = $oldh;} $height = abs(intval($height));
if(($height < 70) || ($height > 768)){$height = $oldh;}

  ultimately.

  Nothing I can see wrong with your posting, more the merrier!
