Hi all,

I have a string with hold alpha & numeric characters. I need to test for the string length and then test to see if the first 7 characters of numeric.

This is what I have so far:

$_GET['p'] = "1337987 ezy8659 effr2590000 xh541207 lhr ist";

$smsstring = (strlen($_GET['p']));

I now know the length of the string but I don't know how to find out if the first 7 characters are numeric.

if($smsstring > 7) {
		$str = $_GET['p'] ;
		$str  =	explode(" ",$str);
		$member_id = $str[0];
		$wt_ref 	= $str[1];
		$wt_pnr 	= $str[2];
		$wt_des 	= $str[3];
		$wt_dep 	= $str[4];
		$wt_des 	= $str[5];

There may be better ways to do what I have already done, but it works so far.

Can anyone provide some advice.
