Summary0016133: Numeric field accepts floats and displays them as numeric
Description

Interestingly, for php floats are numeric. As a consequence, there is no difference between custom fields of type "numeric" and "float". The mantis-docs say, "numeric" means "is an integer", but any numeric value may be accepted.

A correct test for integer-strings is described here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3502854/is-int-and-get-or-post

For "floats" is_numeric() is sufficient, although it allows "4e1" and "0x123". Therefore, a better solution would be valuable here, too.

Workaround: Use a string with regexps. :-/
