Searching for partilcular numbers in PHP

Question

I have been working on a requirement (in PHP), where I had stuck with the below.

I need to search for the numbers between 6800 to 6899. How can I search starts with the string ‘68’. So that I will get all the numbers in that range.

Now, I have an idea like:

if ($Model== 'Jazz6800i') return true;
if ($Model== 'Jazz6801i') return true;
......
if ($Model== 'Jazz6899i') return true;

Do we have any alternate in PHP instead of writing hell lot of code, to search starting with 68?

Answer 1

Use regexp:

function isInCorrectRange($item) 
{
    return preg_match('/Jazz68[0-9][0-9]i/', $item);
}

$result = isInCorrectRange('Jazz6801i');
