posted before - different scenario

[el_kab0ng]

So i posted a character count issue earlier where I needed to make sure a user entered in a 2 digit date code (no more, no less)

I was answered with checkdate() which worked at the time.

Now I'm faced with another problem.

I will have my users entering in up to 11 digits into an input field. If there are not 11 digits, I need a % tacked on to the end of the number so that when it's ran against a SQL query, it will return wildcard matches.

So, with that said, here's what I need:

input statement that is checked for 11 digits and if not 11, tack a % at the end of the string.

Gentlemen, start your brains!

if (strlen($var)<11)
{
$newvar="$var%";
}

what if I make $var equal to '%%%%%%%%%%'

?

I have a js that will do bounds checking to ensure the characters are numeric before submit.
