Matching heights, debug

[Buyocat]

As in 6'2, I want to be find strings of the form:
6
6'2
6'22 (I suppose I'd like up to two decimal points)
6.2 (for those stubborn people who use odd punctuation)
6,2 (for those stubborn people who use odd punctuation)
6 2 (for those stubborn people who use odd punctuation)

I have the following expresssion
/^[1-9]?((.|,|\'|\s)([0-9]{1,2}))$/

However while it successfully matches the above it also matches
6666
666
66

Now I can see where perhaps three digits come from, though I'm not sure why it didn't demand something from the punctuation group, but I don't clueless as to how there could be 4 digits.

Any help plucking out these faulty matches would be much appreciated!

Maybe something like...

untested but it should work!

[code]<?php

$array = array (
'6',
'6\'2',
'6\'22',
'6.2',
'6,2',
'6 2',
'6 233',
'77777',
'7777'
);

foreach ( $array AS $test )
{
if ( preg_match ( "/^([1-9]{1}+[\.\,\' ]{1}+[0-9]{1,2}|[1-9]{1})$/", $test ) )
{
echo $test . "<br />";
}
}

?>[/code]

me!
