Ereg i

Hi all

I've installed Apache 2.0.48 and PHP 4.3.4 on a
workstation running Linux, RedHat 9.0.

Let's consider the following piece of code:

$patt = "[0-9]{3}/[0-9]{6}";

if (ereg("^$patt$",$matricola))
echo "foo1";
else
echo "foo2";

Why the output is "foo1"? It should be "foo2". I 've tried the same
code
to another PHP & Apache installation (sorry but I do not remind the
version) on a windows box and it works fine.

What is the problem?

Thanks a lot in advance,
Alessandro

re: Ereg i

Ok, Alessandro misses one line... the piece of code he refers is

$matr = "123/456789",
$patt = "[0-9]{3}/[0-9]{6}";

if (ereg("^$patt$",$matr))
echo "foo1";
else
echo "foo2";

Why the output is foo2?

What's the value of $matricula?

This code works for me (prints foo1):

<?
$matricola="123/456789";
$patt = "[0-9]{3}/[0-9]{6}";

if (ereg("^$patt$",$matricola))
echo "foo1";
else
echo "foo2";
?>

It isn't just a misspell of $matricola, is it?

I get "foo1" when I run it (after correcting the comma on the first line to
a semicolon).

In my opinion the syntax is the problem. If you substitute the line

if (ereg("^$patt$",$matricola))

with

if (!ereg($patt,$matricola)) //Notice the ! before ereg

it does what you want, namely echoing "foo2".

Hope it is what you want,

re: Ereg i
