Well, I prefer the preg_functions
if (!preg_match("/^[0-9]{10}$/", $string)) {
// contains stuff other than numbers, or is less than 10 digits in length.
}
You could also just use is_int()
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.is-int.php
and strlen()

Huh?
If you just want digits, then where've those other patterns come from? Do
you mean you want anything BUT numbers?
Ok:
if (!preg_match("/^[^0-9]+$/", $string_without_numbers)) {
// string contains numbers
}
otherwise, please clarify.
