Note that
will match a single character that is 1, 0, 0, any single digit in the range 0 through 9, 9, 9, or 9. So if Test_var had been set to "6", it would say it is a year. Bracket expressions don't look for ranges of numeric values.
Hope this helps you understand what was going wrong.

Suppose we have a simple situation, like the following C++ instructions:
int x;
cout << "Insert x: ";
cin >> x;
while ( x-- < 0 ) ;
Of course, if it is written something different from an integer, the while loop shall not end.
So, how can we check if the input x is of the right type? (2 Replies)

idate
IDATE(3) 1 IDATE(3)idate - Format a local time/date as integer
SYNOPSIS
int idate (string $format, [int $timestamp = time()])
DESCRIPTION
Returns a number formatted according to the given format string using the given integer $timestamp or the current local time if no time-

o $timestamp
- The optional $timestamp parameter is an integer Unix timestamp that defaults to the current local time if a $timestamp is not
given. In other words, it defaults to the value of time(3).
RETURN VALUES
Returns an integer.
As idate(3) always returns an integer and as they can't start with a "0", idate(3) may return fewer digits than you would expect. See the
example below.
ERRORS /EXCEPTIONS
Every call to a date/time function will generate a E_NOTICE if the time zone is not valid, and/or a E_STRICT or E_WARNING message if using
the system settings or the $TZ environment variable. See also date_default_timezone_set(3)CHANGELOG

EXAMPLES
Example #1
idate(3) example
<?php
$timestamp = strtotime('1st January 2004'); //1072915200
// this prints the year in a two digit format
// however, as this would start with a "0", it
// only prints "4"
echo idate('y', $timestamp);
?>
