FORM password checking

[dreamkiller23]

I'm making an admin page that can add new users to my database

the admin enters their ID, their lastname, firstname, phone number, etc.

ALSO the admin enters their password

BUT i want their password to be at least 6 characters with the first character being a letter. The password should have at least one upper-cased letter, a number, and a symbol (% or # or ~)...

$pattern = '(^[a-zA-Z][A-Z]+[0-9]+[/%/#/`]+)';
$pwd = stripslashes({$_POST['pwd_field']});
if (ereg($pattern,{$_POST['pwd_field']})) {
echo "nope. bad pwd.";
}

 

i just can get the $pattern right. any ideas??

Please don't double post, even if you put the original in the wrong place.
