need help on regex

[sandy1028]

 

$Text = 2012 - A title goes on
$symbols = '`~\*\(\)\-_=\+\{\[\}\]\%\$/'

preg_match('/^[A-Z0-9\ '.$symbols.']+/', $Text, $allUpperCased);

 

Here, output is 2012 - A

 

Need help in changing the regular expression.

So that output is "2012".

 

and also should not split if text like

 

$75 or 75%

Yeah... You'll have to explain what you're trying to do.

Is every $Title in that format?

If yes just substr the first 4 letters?

Else try this one: ^([0-9]+)
