PHP - check if range appears in variable?

314

I have a variable like this :

$test = "002,003,004,005,012,032,045";

I'd like to see if any number in a range of numbers appears in this string.

eg :if ($test == [010-015]) echo "found";

this would check the $test variable for any number of 010,011,012,013,014,015 and if any is found then echo found.

How do I do this ?

Only way I can think of is to loop through each number .. but there must be a better way !

Thanks

hope this helps you

$test = "002,003,004,005,012,032,045";
foreach (explode(',',$test) as $i)
{
  if($i > 10 && $i < 15)
  {
    echo 'found';
  }
}
