Need pattern for specific string in PHP

Question

How can I code a function in PHP to check input string with allowed pattern? my pattern is like this:

First section is one digit integer from 0 to 9 and the second section after dash is 10 digits positive integer number.

Thanks.

I am a little bit confused. how can I make sure about provided solutions? I did some test but I think I've found malfunctioning. — silvercover
