QUESTION 13

Use regular expressions and preg_match to answer this question!

Write the PHP code that will print "YES!" if the variable $wordString begins with a lowercase letter, ends with a lower case letter and contains (anywhere in the string!) three digits in a row. Otherwise the code prints "NO!"

So art453Xt would print YES!, a561z would print YES!, r45az590t would print YES! 6tu789x would print NO! because it does not start with a lower case letter, a45dhj78sk8z would print "NO!" because it does not have 3 digits in a row.

Explanation / Answer

$regex = "/^[a-z][a-z0-9]|[0-9]{3}[a-zA-Z0-9][a-z]$/";

$String = "6tu789x ";

if(preg_match($regex, $String))
{
echo "YES!";
}
else
{
echo "NO!";
}
