Subject: [PHP] Converting variables to integer
> I have a bunch of form variables that I need to process as integers.
> The problem is that some users are writing in values with commas - e.g.
> 100,000, and that isn't read as an integer. There's more than one
> variable so I don't want to have to do a string replace for each one.
> Is there a general way to curb this problem?
