Hi
As I said before I don't use posix regexes (i.e. ereg), as they're not
binary safe and can be much slower than the PCRE versions. the PCRE
equivalent of what you want is:
if (preg_match("/^[-A-Za-z0-9_' ]+$/", $string)}:
echo "string valid";
else:
echo "string invalid";
endif;
The "A-
}
else {
echo "string disallowed";
}
Warmest Regards,
Dan

Hi
What you've written doesn't match the description you gave. As a
regular expression "([0-9][A-Z][a-z][-_.'\ ])" means a digit followed by
an uppercase letter followed by a lower case letter followed by (hyphen
or underscore or mid-dot or single quote or space). This is a total of
four charact
ce - I have to have a space.
I don't need a length.
