Question

I am looking for a PHP regex to check a string is:

• 4 characters long
• the 1st character is A-Z (capitalized alphabet)
• the 2nd to 4th characters are numbers (0-9)

A good example is: A123

Thanks!

Answer 1

^[A-Z][0-9]{3}$

Explanation:

^         # start of string
[A-Z]     # one character, A-Z
[0-9]{3}  # three characters, 0-9
$         # end of string
