Maybe I'm off my rocker, but I don't see how this can't work. I'm trying to validate an ICQ number, and assuming a valid one is between 7 and 9 numbers. My line of code is this:
if(ereg("^[0-9]{7,9}$", $_REQUEST["icqnumber"])) { print("a-okay!"); } else { print("error msg"); } I've submitted the ICQ # 2264532680, but it validates. Any ideas?
