is_float
Finds whether the type of a variable is float
Description
bool is_float(mixed $value)
Note:
To test if a variable is a number or a numeric string (such as form
input, which is always a string), you must use
is_numeric.
Parameters
-
value
-
The variable being evaluated.
Return Values
Returns true if value is a float,
false otherwise.
Examples
Example #1 is_float example
<?php
var_dump(is_float(27.25));
var_dump(is_float('abc'));
var_dump(is_float(23));
var_dump(is_float(23.5));
var_dump(is_float(1e7)); //Scientific Notation
var_dump(is_float(true));
?>
The above example will output:
bool(true)
bool(false)
bool(false)
bool(true)
bool(true)
bool(false)
