I can put any postal code in and it accepts it even one I know is wrong.
phdphd I tried your advice and got back
SCREAM: Error suppression ignored for
( ! ) Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '.' in C:\wamp\www\formext\contact.php on line 23
removed .... at the end and it went through but it is wrong because it accepts a number as first digit of postal code
I know I should have put my code in tags but it has been a long time since I posted in a web design forum and I could not remember how to use code tags. Sorry

How to validate Canadian Postal Code.
I am stumped here and would appreciate any help.
I have tried two solutions that I found online any neither one works for me. I must be missing something.
1.
"
/* Canada Postal code validation */
if($name == 'postal') {
$postal = $_POST['postal'];
if($postal != '') {
if(!preg_match('/^[ABCEGHJKLMNPRSTVXY]{1}\d{1}[A-Z]{1} *\d{1}[A-Z]{1}\d{1}$/', $postal)) {
$result['valid'] = false;
$result['reason'][$name] = 'Entered Postal Code is Invalid';
}
}
}
"
2.
"
/*Canadian Postal code */
function isPostalCode($postal) {
$regex = "/^([a-ceghj-npr-tv-z]){1}[0-9]{1}[a-ceghj-npr-tv-z]{1}[0-9]{1}[a-ceghj-npr-tv-z]{1}[0-9]{1}$/i";
//remove spaces
$postal = str_replace(' ', '', $postal);
if ( preg_match( $regex , $postal ) ) {
return $postal;
} else {
return false;
}
}
"
Here is my php file without validation included.
"
<?php
/* Set e-mail recipient */
$myemail = "mufc@shaw.ca";
/* Check all form inputs using check_input function
Put these in the order that they appear on the form*/
$firstname = check_input($_POST['firstname'], "Enter your first name");
$lastname = check_input($_POST['lastname'], "Enter your last name");
$ammount = check_input($_POST['ammount'], "Write ammount requested");
$first = check_input($_POST['first'], "Write first mortgage balance");
$estimated = check_input($_POST['estimated'], "Write estimated house value");
$assessed = check_input($_POST['assessed'], "Write assessed house value");
$present = check_input($_POST['present'], "Write Present Address");
$city = check_input($_POST['city'], "Write City/Town");
$email = check_input($_POST['email'],"Write Email Address");
$postal = check_input($_POST['postal'], "Write Postal Code");
$likeit = check_input($_POST['likeit']);
$status = check_input($_POST['status'], "Please Choose Marital Status");
$comments = check_input($_POST['comments'], "Write your comments");
/* Canada Postal code validation */
if($name == 'postal') {
$postal = $_POST['postal'];
if($postal != '') {
if(!preg_match('/^[ABCEGHJKLMNPRSTVXY]{1}\d{1}[A-Z]{1} *\d{1}[A-Z]{1}\d{1}$/', $postal)) {
$result['valid'] = false;
$result['reason'][$name] = 'Entered Postal Code is Invalid';
}
}
}
/* Let's prepare the message for the e-mail */
$message = "Hello!

";
/* Send the message using mail() function */
mail($myemail, $subject, $message);
/* Redirect visitor to the thank you page */
header('Location: thanks.htm');
exit();
/* Functions we used */
function check_input($data, $problem='')
{
$data = trim($data);
$data = stripslashes($data);
$data = htmlspecialchars($data);
if ($problem && strlen($data) == 0)
{
show_error($problem);
}
return $data;
}
function show_error($myError)
{
?>
<html>
<body>
<b>Please correct the following error:</b><br />
<?php echo $myError; ?>
</body>
</html>
<?php
exit();
}
?>
"
Thanks in advance.
