Convert String To Integer - Not Starting With A Number


I can't get PHP to convert a string to an integer (or pull the numbers OUT of a string) if it doesn't start with a number, which is an issue.

Basically, i'm trying to pull the integers only out of various model numbers for pieces of equipment our store is selling - examples would be something like S820D or MS1798. I only need the 820 or the 1798 from these strings, but PHP doesn't want to play nice with either:

$product_model = "S820D";
$var = intval($product_model);
or
$var = (int) $product_model;

Appending An Integer To A String
I am having problems appending a number to the end of a string. I
searched google and google forums and couldn't figure it out .... sorry
i'm sure its simple.

so I have:

$filename = 'test.file.";
$i = 0;

and I want to change $filename to become 'test.file.0'.

$filename .= $i; //doesn't work
$filename += $i; //doesn't work
$filename .= (string) $i; //doesn't work, nor does += (string) $i

So, how could I do this using these variables?

(I plan to do this inside a loop, and loop until test.file.i does not
exist, at which point I will create one and save the news post. I will
do the same to display the news on my front page -- loop through
starting at i=0 and display the contents of the files until test.file.i
does not exist)

doing this wrong?

Convert STRING Charset
I have a MySQL database, which stores data in UTF-8 Unicode format. I have a webpage which has a form where I enter data to store the information and the CHARSET for that page is ISO-8859-1 (latin1).

When I fetch data from my database on a page that has the CHARSET ISO-8859-1 the output is great!
But when I now from another page has UTF-8 Unicode CHARSET set and fetch data from the database, some of the characters are messed up (like the Swedish Å Ä Ö characters).

My question follows:
Can I with PHP, fetch text from my database into a STRING and then "convert" from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8 Unicode before outputting it to the page which has CHARSET UTF-8 Unicode? OR Do I have to "loop" through and replace "bad/wrong" characters into UTF-8 Unicode, and if so, HOW?

(here is a table of the decimal equivalents http://www.neurophys.wisc.edu/www/comp/docs/ascii.html)

I've tried:
HexDec()
bin2hex()
BinDex()
etc....

Can anyone tell me how to convert this value?

How Do You Convert A TCL List Into A String That PHP Can Read?
I have a TCL proc that needs to convert what might be a list into a
string to read

consider this:

[set string [PROPER_CASE {hello world}]]; # OUTPUTS Hello World which
is fine for PHP

[set string [PROPER_CASE {-hello world}]]; # OUTPUT {{-Hello}}
World, which PHP will print literally as {{-Hello}} World, instead of
-Hello World

Is there an easy way for TCL to brute-force a list into a
strictly-string-only format to prevent this potentially ugly display
from being displayed by PHP/etc.?

I am making this script which uses a flatfile database. This is an example of a record in that database:

Cut Back On The Number Of Characters In The String?
I've more or less finished developing a flat file based blog, and everything is working quite nicely. I've added a "Recent Articles" list, which displays my last 5 entries.

I'm displaying this list in a fairly small iframe so i'm a bit pushed for space. I'm looking to just list the subject i've set for each entry. This is fine, unfortunatly some of the topic names are longer than i'd like and running off the edge of the frame.

My question is this: would it be possible to cut back on the number of characters in the string?

Eg.
$subject = "PHP is a crazy language";
$newsubject = "PHP is a cra...";

How would I go about this?
