There's also the ctype functions to keep in mind for other basic checks. If you wanted a regular expression to do this, it would look something like,

PHP Code:
$szString "1234567890+-";

if (
preg_match("/^[0-9-+]+$/"$szString)) {
    echo 
"String '{$szString}' contains only valid characters";
} else {
    echo 
"String '{$szString}' contains invalid characters";

I was trying to come up with a decent one that didn't use the start of string/end of string qualifiers, just to see if I could, and... nope.
