RE: [PHP] Problems with pattern matching

[Jack Dempsey]

i got the echo of "AOHell user" to appear with this...
i'd look at what remote addr returns and check and see if that works with
your regexp.......

jack

$hostname = "www.aol.com";

    if (eregi(".*\.aol\.com.*", $hostname))
    {
        echo $hostname;
        echo "AOHell user";
    }
    else
    {
        echo $hostname;
        echo "Not on AOHell";
    }

Subject: [PHP] Problems with pattern matching


I'm attempting to get something like the following to match anything from
aol.com so that I can handle AOL users differently than users from other
ISPs:

    $hostname = gethostbyaddr($REMOTE_ADDR);

    if (eregi(".*\.aol\.com.*", $hostname))
    {
        echo $hostname;
        echo "AOHell user";
    }
    else
    {
        echo $hostname;
        echo "Not on AOHell";
    }

However, the else condition is always the one which is always executed. Any
ideas why? I'll admit to being somewhat weak when it comes to regular
expressions.

Thanks,
Alec
