I have a working regex as below, used for validating data input:
$Status = (ereg("^(^[A-Za-z0-9` !@#$%&()=:;\"\'.?/^|{}-]*)(.*)$", $String,
$List));
It is definitely working as expected.
I need to add the square brackets [ ] to the above list of allowed
characters. However, this does not work. The regex does not produce an error
message, but instead accepts all characters as valid.
I have tried escaping them, ie:
\[\]
I have tried encoding them as HEX, ie:
\x5b\x5d
However, the same problem occurs in both circumstances.
Can anyone please help me?
