To do it in one fell swoop you need to use lookahead assertions --
something like this:
if (preg_match('/(?=.*[A-Z])(?=.*[0-9]).{7,}/', $text))
echo 'Valid!';
I believe this matches for any string that has at least one uppercase
letter and one digit and is at least 7 characters long. However it
allows other characters as well (not just A-Z and 0-9). Lots of
possible variations there.
