Well, you could perform a regular expression search on those strings, however doing so in a database with a large data set may prove rather costly.
$subjects = ["1568940","545198650", "15580", "5551000", "015", "1805"];
foreach ($subjects as $subject) {
if (preg_match("/(1)\d*(5)\d*(0)\d*/", $subject, $match) && count($match) == 4) {
echo "$subject contains string 150\n";
} else {
echo "$subject does not contain string 150\n";
}
}
This should give you the following output…
1568940 contains string 150
545198650 contains string 150
15580 contains string 150
5551000 does not contain string 150
015 does not contain string 150
1805 does not contain string 150
In MySQL…
SELECT fieldname FROM table WHERE fieldname REGEXP "(1)*(5)*(0)*";
It might help if you explained in more detail how you’re getting this data and why it is you need to identify if it contains these characters.
