More concise way to check to see if an array contains only numbers (integers)

by 
$only_integers       === array_filter($only_integers,       'is_int'); // true
$letters_and_numbers === array_filter($letters_and_numbers, 'is_int'); // false

It would help you in the future to define two helper, higher-order functions:

/**
 * Tell whether all members of $array validate the $predicate.
 *
 * all(array(1, 2, 3),   'is_int'); -> true
 * all(array(1, 2, 'a'), 'is_int'); -> false
 */
function all($array, $predicate) {
    return array_filter($array, $predicate) === $array;
}

/**
 * Tell whether any member of $array validates the $predicate.
 *
 * any(array(1, 'a', 'b'),   'is_int'); -> true
 * any(array('a', 'b', 'c'), 'is_int'); -> false
 */
function any($array, $predicate) {
    return array_filter($array, $predicate) !== array();
}
