Hi, I have my regular expression checking from alphnumeric content how would I also allow punctuation to passed?

 

if (NULL || !eregi('^[a-zA-Z]|[ ]|[0-9]{500}$',$_POST['contactName'])) {
						$problem = TRUE;
						$message .= '<p>The enquiry you entered is not valid</p>';
						} else {
						$problem = FALSE;
						}

You could use the character class [[:punct:]] which is shorthand for the punctuation characters . , ; : -
