Same thing, fewer characters:
if (preg_match('/\d/', $myVar))

if(preg_match('/[0-9]/',$myVar))
{
//number present
}

//no numb

Subject: [PHP-DB] checking a s
you should use preg_match
if (preg_match("/\d/",$myVar)){
echo "yes it contains a digit";
}
i believe this works... you should use preg_match and with \d it checks for
a digit
i'm not sure this works...
let me know
