Simple regular expression pattern for php

Question

How to write a regular expression that will pass a numbers from 60 to 99?

So, what have you tried? Did you read any regular expression documentation? — DarkDust, Feb 16 '12 at 08:12
Just pick the 2-figures number and check if it's between 60 and 99 — Damien Pirsy, Feb 16 '12 at 08:16

Fairly straightforward:

/^[6-9][0-9]$/

But why are you using regex for this?

Regular expressions is a poor tool for such task. You should really drop to a numerical comparison.

But since you ask, here's how:

/^[6-9][0-9]$/

I would probably do it by checking via ($n >= 60 && $n <= 99), but a possible regex is:

/^[6-9][0-9]$/

could also use an if case:

if($value >= 60 && $value <= 99) { // do stuff}
