PHP - compare varible

I just want to check a 3 digit number (integer) starts with a 10, the last digit can be any number.

So something like 10*

Marco Gasi

Try this:

if (preg_match('/10\d/'), $digitNumber){
echo 'true';
}else{
echo 'false';
}

Cheers

Thanks, but I am getting an error on if(preg_match('/10\d/'), $id){

here is my code.
thanks

$obj = simplexml_load_file('test.xml');

// ACTIVATE THIS TO VISUALIZE THE OBJECT
// var_dump($obj);

// IF WE HAVE A GET ARGUMENT
if (!empty($_GET["id"]))
{
// USE ONLY NUMBERS
$id = preg_replace('#[^0-9]#', NULL, $_GET["id"]);

// ITERATE OVER THE POPUP OBJECTS
foreach ($obj->popup as $popup)
{
// FIND THE MATCHING ID(S)
if ($popup->id == $id)
{
                  //$id = $id->id;
                  $id = (int)$popup->id;
$title = (string)$popup->title;
$img_loc = (string)$popup->img_loc;
$client = (string)$popup->client;
$involvement = (string)$popup->involvement;
// echo PHP_EOL . $title . ' ' . $client;


if (preg_match('/10\d/'), $id){
echo 'true';
}else{
echo 'false';
}
