If it starts with a number, change it...

[jj20051]

I have a username generator that takes the first 8 characters from an entered domain name to make the username. How would I change it so that if the domain begins with a number it adds a "t" or something similar t the username?

 

$username = preg_replace("/[\.,\";'\:]/", "", $domain);
$username = substr($username, 0, ;

 

Between those two lines it would have to add the letter to the front of the username if the username started with a number...

 

Examples:

example.com ---> Username: exampleco

0303mg.org ---> Username: t0303mgo

my0domains.com ---> Username: my0domai

002domain.com ---> Username: t002doma

 

Hopefully you understand what I'm trying to do...

There's probably more elegant regex solution, but this works:

$username = preg_replace("/[\.,\";'\:]/", "", $domain);

if( is_numeric(substr($username, 0, 1)) )
{
    $username .= 't'.$username;
}

$username = substr($username, 0, ;
