fivestringsurf Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 using php5 preg_match function I am trying to limit some string data to [uppercase,lowercase,number, underscore]only but the string should be 7-20 characters long and Must include at least 1 uppercase 1 lowercase and 1 number. How can I tighten up this code and make it leaner? ...I'm sure I probably only need to run the regex once for the check not twice like I am doing now. Thank you if(!preg_match('/^[a-zA-Z0-9_]{7,20}$/', $val) ){ echo 'no good'; }else{ if(!preg_match('/.*^(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[A-Z])(?=.*[0-9]).*$/', $val)){ echo 'no good 2'; } } Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/196788-regex-checking-for-limits-and-character-requirements/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
