Hello.
My question is about PHP, a simple question.
Let's say I have $number, where number = xxxxxx.
If starts with 1234, echo 'a'
If it doesn't start with 1234, echo 'b'.
Substr, yes, but code?

Hi vladuz,

That's an easy one. Here's a snippet:

<?

// We create a function that checks the numbers
function checkNumber($numberToCheck) {
  if (substr($numberToCheck, 0, 3) == "1234") echo "a"; else echo "b";
}

// We asign values to some variables
$number = 1234567678;
$otherNumber= 9876545;

// We check them if they start with 1234 using the function above.
checkNumber($number);
checkNumber($otherNumber);

?>

The first check should return "a". The second one should return "b"

From http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.substr.php
<?php
$number="1234567";
$left=substr($searchme, 0,4);
if ($left=="abcd") {
   echo 'a';
   } else {
   echo 'b';
   }
?>
but, if $number is actually an integer, and you will have exactly 6
characters then use round:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.round.php
<?php
$number=123456;
if (round($number,-2 )==123400) {
   echo 'a';
   } else {
   echo 'b';
   }
?>

yes, 0,3 duh. not 0,4 :( My bad. :)

Thanks very much.
