[RESOLVED] regex help, matching $i number of numbers in $var - stuck

[kender]

Okay, I am trying to check a $var for numbers, anywhere in the $var

What I have is

if(($number != 0) && (preg_match('/[0-9]{'.$number.'}/', $var) == 0))
{
  // throw error
}

Where $number is a user defined quantity of numbers that must be in the $var.. unfortunately this preg_match only checks for side by side, but it could be anywhere in the $var

eg:

$var = 'fa5ba5rwbv';
$number = 2;

this should pass, but doesn't with my expression... but I can't find an example matching my specific need... can anyone help here?

$count = preg_match_all('/[0-9]/', $var);
