Is there a mothod to check string`s length with regex or the only way is using strlen?

I want string consisting of 4 digits
and check string with this code:

if (preg_match("/\d{4}/",$_POST[id]))
{ echo $_POST[id]; }

but preg_match  returns true when string consists of 4 or more digits

You could change the regex to use start/end anchors. Also, the trailing comma in the length specifier bit means "4 or more" Eg:

if (preg_match("/^\d{4,}$/", $_POST['id'])){
    echo $_POST['id'];
}
