I am working on a shell program that needs to accept alpha-numeric input (i.e., P00375); when I use a simple 'read' statement to read in the input (i.e., read LOG), I receive the message "p00375: bad number". How must I adjust my input statement to accept alpha-numerics?
Thanks!

IS_NUMERIC(3) 1 IS_NUMERIC(3)
is_numeric - Finds whether a variable is a number or a numeric string

bool is_numeric (mixed $var)

Finds whether the given variable is numeric. Numeric strings consist of optional sign, any number of digits, optional decimal part and

(e.g. 0777) notation is allowed too but only without sign, decimal and exponential part.
PARAMETERS
o $var
- The variable being evaluated.
RETURN VALUES
Returns TRUE if $var is a number or a numeric string, FALSE otherwise.
EXAMPLES
Example #1
is_numeric(3) examples
<?php
$tests = array(
"42",
1337,
0x539,
02471,
0b10100111001,
1337e0,
"not numeric",

foreach ($tests as $element) {
if (is_numeric($element)) {
echo "'{$element}' is numeric", PHP_EOL;
} else {
