I tested
if( (strlen($str) == 6) && (is_int($str)) )
vs
if(ereg('^[0-9]{6}$',$str))
...on my LAN test server with 100000 iterations, and the regexp was nearly 2 times slower than the first solution. IMHO, it's also faster to read and modify the first solution too -- especially for those with minimal regexp experience.
