FILTER_VALIDATE_REGEXP to validate FLOAT data of a variable in PHP

FILTER_VALIDATE_REGEXP

By using FILTER_VALIDATE_REGEXP we can validate Regular expression .

$string = "Welcome to plus2net.com";

var_dump(filter_var($string, FILTER_VALIDATE_REGEXP,
array("options"=>array("regexp"=>"/^W(.*)/"))))

Output is

string(23) "Welcome to plus2net.com"

Change the $string variable value to

$string="ZWelcome to plus2net.com";

Output is now

bool(false)

Example 2

$string = "Welcome to plus2net.com"; // change the first char and see the result

if(filter_var($string, FILTER_VALIDATE_REGEXP,array("options"=>array("regexp"=>"/^W(.*)/")))){
echo "yes Cleared ";	
}else{
echo " No not cleared ";	
}

Output is here

yes Cleared
