is_numeric ?

[spires]

Hi

 

I want to check if a string has numbers in it.

I've tried using is_numeric, but this on returns true if the string is all numeric.

Not if it's a combination of characters and numbers.

 

How can I check to see if my sting contains numbers.

 

Example:

Spires01      --      Should return True

Spires        --    Should return false

 

 

Thanks

Simplest way in my opinion would be to just use regex:

 

if (preg_match('/[0-9]/', $str))
{
    // contains a number
}

Using the \d token:

if(preg_match('/\d/', $str)) {
}
