Question

I have an array of numbers, for example:

10001234
10002345

Now I have a number, which should be matched against all of those numbers inside the array. The number could either be 10001234 (which would be easy to match), but it could also be 100001234 (4 zeros instead of 3) or 101234 (one zero instead of 3) for example. Any combination could be possible. The only fixed part is the 1234 at the end.

I cant get the last 4 chars, because it can also be 3 or 5 or 6 …, like 1000123456.

Whats a good way to match that? Maybe its easy and I dont see the wood for the trees :D.

Thanks!

Answer 1

if always the first number is one you can use this

$Num=1000436346;
echo(int)ltrim($Num."","1");

output:

436346
