$number = -0;
	if (is_integer($number) == true) 
		{
    echo "number is an integer";
	}
	else {
	    echo "number is not an integer";
	}

/* -0 just generally works as a number it probably shouldn't */

I believe this is probably because the negative sign is
stripped from -0, so the variable just reads 0 (which is an
integer.)  Can anybody else verify this?

-0 is just a strange way of writing 0
