[letters, one comma and one space]

That worked

 

If you look carefully the previous thread asked for a single space. I need to not limit the spaces in my case.

 

Thank you for the expression, epic.

[letters, one comma and one space]

I need a regex for letters, spaces, and a comma:

 

"toronto, ontario" == true

"abc, 123, abc" == false

"asd. #!@" == false

 

Does anyone know how to form the pattern for this?

[letters, one comma and one space]

I'm starting a new topic because i need something different now.

[letters, one comma and one space]

Thanks for helping Joe, that code was close, it still lets in numbers in something like this "abc, 123, abc".

 

I need letters, spaces, and one comma.

 

So something like "toronto, ontario" would work.

[letters, one comma and one space]

I also now need one for: letters, spaces, and one comma

 

I'm still trying to learn how to form these patterns..

[letters, one comma and one space]

As the subject implies, i need a regex for letters, one comma, and one space, does anyone know the solution?

 

Thank you for your time,

[Captcha; session problem]

Hey, i have a problem with a captcha, i have been trying to solve this since last nite and i still haven't fixed it, its getting me pretty frustrated..  :-\

 

I'm using this script: http://www.white-hat-web-design.co.uk/articles/php-captcha.php

 

I have the captcha image working, but the session is not working properly.

 

I removed session_start(); because i have it in my root file, and i renamed;

 

$_SESSION['security_code'] = $code;

 

to

 

$_SESSION["captcha"]=$code;

 

Another thing to note, is i named my session so for example, my root file has session_name("mysession");

 

Any ideas on why $_SESSION["captcha"]=$code; does not work? Please help 

[Need help working with array values.]

[Need help working with array values.]

For example, im looking for "Brick Wall" in the array $walls[].

[PHP counting checked checkboxes arrays]

count($_POST['example']);

 

thanks much

[PHP counting checked checkboxes arrays]

Hello, i have a series of check boxes with the same name="" tag (example[]), and i want to count how many of these check boxes have been selected. Can anyone help me construct such a loop in a very simple/clean way?

 

I want to see if more than 2 check boxes have been selected.

[Letters and Spaces Only]

A simple

 

<?php
if (preg_match('~^[a-z ]+$~iD', $str)) {
//do something
}
?>

 

will do ^ and $ makes it check the whole string, and the pattern modifiers i and D makes the search case insensitive and makes sure $ truly is the end, respectively.

 

That is godly, thank you very much, that was exactly the puzzle piece i needed. 

[Letters and Spaces Only]

What you might want to use is a preg_match_all  (detailed info here http://us3.php.net/preg_match_all)

 

$html = "<b>bold text</b><a href=howdy.html>click me</a>";

 

preg_match_all("/(<([\w]+)[^>]*>)(.*)(<\/\\2>)/", $html, $matches, PREG_SET_ORDER);

 

You could then replace offending characters with

preg_replace

 

<?php

$string = 'The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.';

$patterns[0] = '/quick/';

$patterns[1] = '/brown/';

$patterns[2] = '/fox/';

$replacements[2] = 'bear';

$replacements[1] = 'black';

$replacements[0] = 'slow';

echo preg_replace($patterns, $replacements, $string);

?>

 

 

Hope that helps.

 

I was looking for something more simple such as an ereg statement, i just can't figure out how to set it up myself. I dont want to replace anything, i just want a true or false on a string.

 

For example:

 

im expecting: hello hello

 

or: Hello Hello

 

but i want to give an error if something such as:

 

Hello2 Hello

 

or

 

Hello!

 

is given.

 

The code you gave me over-complicates the result, but thank you for helping.

[Letters and Spaces Only]

Hey, could someone help me put together a statement to check a string for letters and spaces and return true or false (i want see if the string has letters and spaces, which would be normal, or if it also contains numbers and these guys !@#$^& e.t.c, which would be unwanted)

 

- Thank you.
