That works for me... $testVal = "this is the ./command";
if(preg_match("/\.\//i", $testVal)) { echo "hello"; } This printed hello, then I removed the slash and it did not match and did not print hello. Sounds like it is a logic problem, or the variable is not arriving as you expected. -----Original Message----- From: Dave Carrera [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, May 30, 2004 6:55 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] Simple preg I think Hi List, How do I match an accordance of "./" in a string (without the quotes) ?
