In a PHP application I am using they provide the ability to pull data

  • 0

In a PHP application I am using they provide the ability to pull data using shortcodes such as #_CATEGORYID. When using $cat_id = '#_CATEGORYID'; and echoing $cat_id the correct numeric digit is returned, 55 in this case. When var_dump on $cat_id it returns a string count of 12 which is how many characters #_CATEGORYID specifically is.

I would like to use a comparison operator to display something if ($cat_id == 55) but the comparison wont work due to the string length being 12 characters.

Any idea on how to compare something like this?
