Greetings,
I'd like to add somee error handling to a password field: if the
password is fewer than 5 characters or greater than 15 characters I'd
like to trap it. Special characters such as ^ and ~ will be allowed, but
spaces will not be allowed.
Can someone suggest and ereg expression that will help with this? Also,
does php have a length function similar to vb's len(mystring)? 5 2886
Yup, regular expression is the perfect tool for this task. Try this:
echo preg_match('|^\ \w{5,15}$|', $password) ? "Good" : "Bad";

Chung I must say you've been very very helpful. Sure hope you're getting
paid enough. And are you actually fluent in Polish?

The preg functions are usually faster than the ereg. And strlen() will give you
the string length.

Is there some way of using ereg to detect when certain filename extensions
are supplied and to return false if so, WITHOUT using the ! operator
before ereg () ?
I have an API that allows as an input a regular expression, enabling the
administrator to ensure a file upload matches a certain pattern. For
instance, supplying the string

I have a little problem with ereg (eregi) in PHP - in some cases it behaves
differently than I expect and I don`t know if my expectations are strange or
there is any "syntax subtlety" I have missed.
I want to find a value for key1 in string:
key1=>value_of key1key2=>other_valuekey3=>value
and I use an ereg pattern

Hi,
Thanks to all who replied to original posting.As a direct result of now gaining
a better understanding of regular expressions, instead of trying to use other
peoples scripts I am now trying to create my own regular expressions. (Heaven
help us!) So I have started with some pretty basic stuff but would like some
advice on the following. Can the following script be condensed into one ereg()
statement. If so how?
if ((strlen($fname) < 2)...

I'm trying to make sure a form has only one or two digits in either of
two fields.
I looked at php.net and
http://www.regular-expressions.info/reference.html and this is what I
put together, but while it successfully refuses any non-digit, it still
lets any number of digits through.
Any suggestions?
