Hi all,

 

Think im close to figuring this one, but I keep messing and it is not working.

Basically I want the php to validate all strings as true if they are [:alnum:]. However, my script is only returning the last string as "1". (seems it only accepts 1 character strings). what amendment do I need to make to say the whole string (can be any string size) has to be [:alnum:]?

 

the Code:

<?php

function CharNum_RegExp_Validate($string){

$pattern = "^[:alnum:]+$";

if (eregi($pattern, $string)) {

return "1";

}else{

return "0";

}

}

echo CharNum_RegExp_Validate("string01");

echo CharNum_RegExp_Validate("string.01");

echo CharNum_RegExp_Validate("1string");

echo CharNum_RegExp_Validate("string01^");

echo CharNum_RegExp_Validate("a");

?>

 

The Result: 00001

The Wanted Result: 10101

I know that we are not meant to bump, but kinda been waiting quite a while for this one... and I need the answer like ASAP!.

 

...bump!

Topic Resolved. For future referance for anyone visiting this thread.... fix:

 

 

function alnum_validate($string){

if (ctype_alnum($string)){

return "1";

}else{

return "0";

}

}
