Does it actually NEED a regexp?
UNTESTED code:
<?
$icq = 2264532680;
if( (is_int($icq)) && (strlen($icq) > 7) && (strlen($icq) < 9) ) {
echo "yah";
} else {
echo "nah";
}
?>
FWIW, Are you SURE that all valid ICQ #'s are between 7 and 9 chars?
Surely at some point they'll reach 10 chars, and *may* have started at 6?
