Find the position of the first occurrence of any number in string

Question

Can someone help me with algorithm for finding the position of the first occurrence of any number in a string?

The code I found on the web does not work:

function my_offset($text){
    preg_match('/^[^\-]*-\D*/', $text, $m);
    return strlen($m[0]);
}
echo my_offset('[HorribleSubs] Bleach - 311 [720p].mkv');

Answer 1

function my_offset($text) {
    preg_match('/\d/', $text, $m, PREG_OFFSET_CAPTURE);
    if (sizeof($m))
        return $m[0][1]; // 24 in your example

    // return anything you need for the case when there's no numbers in the string
    return strlen($text);
}
