This is what I used:-

# elseif(eregi('[^][0-9]' , $rating))
# {echo "<p>Please only use numbers 0 to 9 inclusive.<br>Use your back button to <span style=\"color: red;\">try again</span>.</p>";}

 

The elseif may be different, it depends on the format of your PHP code.

 

[^] means NOT so it's checking if the input is not a number, if so, it shows the error text.

 

I also see that eregi is deprecated http://php.net/manual/en/function.eregi.php but is still useable until PHP 6 (not released yet) when another function will have to be used (but I'm not sure which).
