STR and INT?

[Sean S]

Quick question, I'm trying to learn and create my own hacks. I have noticed that in many files, lines such as this have been used a lot, could someone please explain to me what this actually achieves?


if ($_POST['do'] == 'this')
{
globalize($_POST, array(
'subject' => STR,
'message' => STR,
'summary' => STR,
'category' => INT,
'upload',
'icon' => FILE
));


like what does this mean? => STR, or => INT

thanks in advance for any info :)

It converts the data into String or Integer, accordingly.
