I can not match "&" - regexp

[Papkin]

Hi

if ( eregi("^[\&/[:space:]/a-zA-Z0-9±ęćłń󶿼ˇĆĘ�ŃÓ¦¬Ż\.\/\/-]{2,65}$","Merry
& Cat") )
return true;
else
return false;

I'd like to match also "&" but this regexp above does not do this, adding \&
does not help. Any ideas?

Thank you

i see some pretty wild characters there.
give it a try with this

eregi('[a-z]+ \& [a-z]+', 'Merry & Cat')

Or use preg_match:

preg_match('|^[\s&a-z0-9±ęćłń󶿼ˇĆĘ�ŃÓ¦¬Ż./\\-]{2,65}$|i',$string);
