 PHPInt.com was created with the intention of enhancing developers knowledge of the commonly overlooked integer type. Integers are often used but are they being fully utilized? To fully comprehend the nature of integers in PHP you don't need to be a PHP expert. Even the newest web developers use integers with ease. Whether you are counting the number of visitors to your PHP driven website and storing it in a variable or simply looping through a script a certain number of times chances are you are using integers! Many PHP developers utilize integers in their scripts everyday! Integers are used in PHP so often its entirely likely they are the most commonly overlooked data type in the world of PHP! |

 Integers could very well be the most important datatype used in PHP. Many new PHP web developers make the mistake of mislabeling their integer variables in their PHP scripts which later causes confusion during code maintenance. If integers are properly utilized in scripts on PHP driven websites then we believe more web developers would succeed. While a web developer for a PHP driven website uses the integer datatype as a foundation for his PHP framework that developer also takes advantage of one of the most solid datatypes in the PHP programming language. With so many websites utilizing PHP and MYSQL its hard to even guess at how many of the PHP scripts on each of those websites might contain use of an integer. How many scripts can even execute properly without using some form of integer? I doubt many. Thinking globally I'd wager it is simply not feasible to estimate just how many times an integer variable datatype is used at any given time around the world. |

To fully understand integers we must become one with the integer. Know what makes an integer work and know what makes an integer break. We will not belittle the lower datatypes of float and bool but rejoice in their attempt at civiliized precision. You will soon find that integers are so important to your PHP driven websites that you may well become a firm believer in the total integer relational religion. Aren't we all but just a bunch of integers in this crazy world of hypertext preprocessing? Convert to an integer today. |
