Description

Description

just like

filter_var("231,402,800",FILTER_VALIDATE_FLOAT, FILTER_FLAG_ALLOW_THOUSAND)

returns

float(231402800)

doing

filter_var("231,402,800",FILTER_VALIDATE_INT, FILTER_FLAG_ALLOW_THOUSAND)

should return

int(231402800)

rather than the current

bool(false)

Research direction

Start by locating the implementation of filter_var() for FILTER_VALIDATE_INT and compare its behavior with FILTER_VALIDATE_FLOAT when FILTER_FLAG_ALLOW_THOUSAND is used. Confirm the change with a case equivalent to filter_var("231,402,800", FILTER_VALIDATE_INT, FILTER_FLAG_ALLOW_THOUSAND), which should return int(231402800) instead of false.
