[SOLVED] Casting with validation rules.

[eluser]TheFuzzy0ne[/eluser]
Is there a simple way to cast a variable from a validation rule?

I need something like this:

Code:

function force_int($int) { return (int)$int; }

...but hopefully, without having to create a custom helper. Does anyone know if there is a native equivalent?

Try intval($val); http://php.net/intval

Nice one, thanks! I knew of it's existence, but had a serious case of brain block when it came to remembering the name of it.
