Check textbox

[Terfanda]

Hello All ,

I have written this function in order to check if the user enters alphabetic characters or numeric;

function check_Name($Name,$FamName)
{
$Name_Pattern="^[a-zA-Z]+$";
if ((eregi("$Name_Pattern",$Name))AND(eregi("$Name_Pattern",$FamName)))
{
$ans2=TRUE;
}
else
{
$ans2=FALSE;
}
return $ans2;

}



I am calling this function through this :::
if(check_Name("$Name","$FamName")==TRUE)
{
$acc2=TRUE;
}else{
$acc2=FALSE;
}


But it is not working correctly can you help me
thank you

As it stands, that piece of code won't print anything to the screen. I ran your code on my machine and it runs perfectly fine, giving me the expected output. What is it (not) doing for you?

I rewrote it for you though, you were going about it the long way a bit...
[code]function check_Name($Name,$FamName) {
    $Name_Pattern = "^[a-zA-Z]+$";
    if((eregi($Name_Pattern,$Name)) && (eregi($Name_Pattern,$FamName))) {
        return TRUE;
    } else {
        return FALSE;
    }
}

$acc2 = check_Name($Name,$FamName);[/code]
