-Likewise, PHP can be instructed to convert the participant's input into a number as far as possible. Therefore, "5b" becomes ''5''. The conversion takes place with the function ''intval()'' or with the prefix ''(int)'' (so-called type casting).

-**Take care:** Decimal places are cut off when using this solution. If you want to work with decimals, you have to first of all make sure that a period is used as the decimal separator (if necessary, set that a text input only allows decimals in SoSci Survey) and then carry out the conversion into a number using the prefix ''(float)''.

-**Vorsicht:** Nachkommastellen werden bei dieser Lösung abgeschnitten. Möchte man mit Dezimalzahlen arbeiten, muss man zunächst dafür sorgen, dass als Dezimaltrennzeichen der Punkt verwendet wird (ggf. in SoSci Survey einstellen, dass eine Texteingabe nur Dezimalzahlen erlaubt) und anschließend mittels vorangestelltem ''(float)'' die Umwandlung in eine Zahl vornehmen.
