RE: [PHP] ereg checking if its only numbers

if(!preg_match("/^\d+$/",$string){ echo "$string has something other than a number"; } -----Original Message----- From: Chris Aitken [mailto:chris@ideal.net.au] Sent: Thursday, October 04, 2001 9:34 PM To: PHP General Mailing List Subject: [PHP] ereg checking if its only numbers Ive been playing around with ereg for about half an hour and having no joy because I dont really understand the medhod behind it and how it all works. But what im trying to do is check to see if a 9 digit string is all numbers and nothing else $string1 = "123456789" $string2 = "123456abc" how would I check either string with an IF statement and make it continue on string 1 (ie, all numbers) and error on string 2 (not all numbers). Any suggestions ?
