Php Calculator Changing Ereg To Preg_Match?

Nerock · December 1, 2012

Hey guys, I recently posted here and I am now trying to fix the ereg because I was told it was deprecated I read some of the stuff in the php manual however I don't understand most of it since I am extremely new to programming. Here's my code, which works fine when i use the ereg function but when i use preg_match() it doesnt work it gives always give me the output "please restrict your input to numbers." However it works just fine when I use !ereg. If i enter numbers it gives me an answer and I enter letters it gives me the "please restrict your input to numbers." message. Here's the code.

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE> Grade calculator </TITLE>
</HEAD>
<center><h1 style="Font-family:Vijaya;font-size:34;Color:#556B2F;"> Grade Calculator </h1></center>
<BODY bgcolor="#9BCD9B">

$LA3 = $_POST["LA3"];
$LA4 = $_POST["LA4"];
$Quiz1 = $_POST["Quiz1"];
$Quiz2 = $_POST["Quiz2"];

$Quiz4 = $_POST["Quiz4"];

You're missing the delimiters around the ReExps. In short, add a "/" after the opening quote and before the closing quote. Which should make the RegExp look like this:

"/[0-9]/"

For more information, I can highly recommend Regular-Expressions.info. It contains all the information you'll ever need on Regular Expression.

PS: You can use \d instead of the [0-9] group, means the same.
