is_finite
@ david,
That will return true for any string ending with "INF".
I think substr("$value",0,3) would be more appropriate.

If you have PHP lower than 4.2 you can simulate the behaviour:
function is_infinite($value) {
return (substr("$value",-3) == "INF");
}
(tested on php 4.1.2)

Actually any string ending in INF is more appropriate than any string beginning with INF. Since negative infinity evaluates to "-INF" but it is still infinite. However in either case the STRING "INF" is not infinite, only a float that converts to "INF" or "-INF" is infinite.
A more appropriate function might be:
<?php
if (!is_defined('is_infinite')) { function is_infinite($val) {
return (is_float($val) and ("$val"=='INF' or "$val"=='-INF'));
} }
?>
* However the above function is untested.
