jsonRPCClient Error with php variables

Question

I am trying to run the following code:

$betamount=$_POST['bet']; 
$litecoin->move($myusername,Admin,$betamount);

but its not working. It works when i replace $betamount with an actual number ie

$litecoin->move($myusername,Admin,0.2);

or

$betamount=0.1; 
$litecoin->move($myusername,Admin,$betamount);

Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?

Answer 1

All you have to do is change it to this

floatval(trim()) ie ...    $betamount=floatval(trim($_POST['bet'])); 

for numbers

and this

 trim()  ie ... $litecoinaddr=trim($_POST['address']); 

for strings
