使用正则表达式返回mysql字符串

Question

Here is my code:

$sql = "SELECT `description` FROM `auctions` WHERE `description` REGEXP '[0-9]{10}'";
$result = mysql_query($sql);
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
  echo $row["description"];
}

This returns the whole field description, I need to just get the part that matches the REGEXP, how do I do this using php?

Answer 1

$sql = "SELECT `description` FROM `auctions` WHERE `description` REGEXP '[0-9]{10}'";
$result = mysql_query($sql);
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
    preg_match('/\d{10}/', $row["description"], $match);
    echo $match[0];
}
