intval returns negative value

Can intval be forced to positive or 0, let's say if it's negative, it would be forced to 0.

 

why don't use some codes like
if( $i<0) $i = 0;

 

Nope, intval function is returning any positive or negative number between -2147483648 and 2147483647.

But, you can write your own function like:

function myIntVal($number)
{
   if ( $number > 0 )
   {
      return intval( $number );
   } else {
      return 0;
   }
}

Hope this is want you wanted.

 

Yeah, thank you.
