We can, however, use preg_match and get required string using reference variable that passed into the third parameter. For example: $string = "dfd4534565465fher5645g"; $pattern = "/(\d{1,4})/"; preg_match($pattern, $string, $match); echo $match[1]; This is far easier, since regex search from beginning, we only need to look for 4 digits, and it will took the first 4 digits it matched... :) Hope it useful for you... ;) do you mean to take the first 4 digit numbers from string? if that so, then try this pattern
