Select all entry beggining with any number?

Hi, I currently have this code that selects all names from the table that begin with the letter 'A', does anybody know how to select all entries from the table that begin with a number?

 

$query = "SELECT * FROM table WHERE name LIKE 'A%'

 

Any help would be very much appreciated.

SELECT * FROM table WHERE name REGEXP '^[0-9]' isn't a valid SQL statement.

 

Sure it is. If you received an error you might want to check which version of MySQL you are using. REGEXP was apparently introduced with ver. 5.1. Of course this assumes that you don't literally have a table named "table". If you do,then you need to enclose the table name in backquotes.

SELECT *
FROM `table`
WHERE name REGEXP '^[0-9]'
