integer?

Check is_int() manual page.

See the Variable Functions chapter in the PHP manual: http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.variables.php
The answer may not be as simple as you'd initially think, so be
sure to read a function's description and user-contributed notes
before using it. Test whatever code you end up writing to make
sure it gives the expected results for both integers and non-integers.
You could also use a regular expression, but using variable functions
would probably make your intentions more clear.

No; that checks whether a variable is an integer, not whether a string
variable corrected represents an integer.
I'm thinking of
"66" true
"00037" true
"afdfdfd" false
"-00218" true
"- 18" false

Not sure I understand the connection to variable functions. I would have
thought that I need a function on a string, returning a boolean, and that
either (a) it's already in php, or (b) I'd have to write my own.
I've done (b) in C and C++.

Did you look at the list of functions at the above link? If none
of them seem suitable, could you explain why? As I mentioned in
my first followup, the solution isn't as obvious as it might seem
at first, but it's there if you read the documentation and user
comments.

OK, looking at the page again, I see what you mean. Basically, it's (b)

and sweet.
Thanks.

You are right. Probably intval() is a better choice.

I have selected strtok to be used in my string replacement function.
But I lost the last token, if there is one.
