problem with my regex

[Stickybomb]

ok i got all my regs, however for some reason some of them test fine with the tester on the RegExLib site, but are not working for my project, i am using the same data

 

here is the code im using

 

these are the reg values

 

$emailreg = "^[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+\.([a-zA-Z]{2,4})$";
$namereg = "^[A-Za-zÀ-ÖØ-öø-ÿ '\-\.]{1,22}$";
$address1reg = "^\d{1,5}\s[\w0-9][\sa-zA-Z0-9]*[aAvVeEsSrRdDtT]{2,3}\.?\s[nNsSeEwW][\.\s]?[nNsSeEwW][\.]?$";
$address2reg = "^p(ost)?[ |\.]*o(ffice)?[ |\.]*(box)?[ 0-9]*[^[a-z ]]*";
$zipreg = "(^\d{5}$)|(^\d{5}-\d{4}$)";
$phonereg = "^(\(?\d\d\d\)?)?( |-|\.)?\d\d\d( |-|\.)?\d{4,4}(( |-|\.)?[ext\.]+ ?\d+)?$";
$statereg ="^((AL)|(AK)|(AS)|(AZ)|(AR)|(CA)|(CO)|(CT)|(DE)|(DC)|(FM)|(FL)|(GA)|(GU)|(HI)|(ID)|(IL)|(IN)|(IA)|(KS)|(KY)|(LA)|(ME)|(MH)|(MD)|(MA)|(MI)|(MN)|(MS)|(MO)|(MT)|(NE)|(NV)|(NH)|(NJ)|(NM)|(NY)|(NC)|(ND)|(MP)|(OH)|(OK)|(OR)|(PW)|(PA)|(PR)|(RI)|(SC)|(SD)|(TN)|(TX)|(UT)|(VT)|(VI)|(VA)|(WA)|(WV)|(WI)|(WY))$";

 

 

 

this is the code to test them

 

 //chnage case
$state = strtoupper($state);

//check size
if(strlen($_POST['chimney_pot_size']) > 2){$sizeflag=1; $size='';}
//check email
if(!eregi($emailreg, $email)) {
  $emailflag=1;
  $email='x';
}else{$email=$_POST['email'];}
//check name
if(!eregi($namereg, $name)) {
  $nameflag=1;
  $name='x';
}
//check address1
if(!eregi($address1reg, $address1)) {
  $address1='x';
}
//check address2
if(!eregi($address2reg, $address2)) {
  $address2='x';
}
//check city
if(!eregi($namereg, $city)) {
  $city='x';
}
//check state
if(!eregi($statereg, $state)) {
  $state='x';
}
//check zip
if(!eregi($zipreg, $zip)) {
  $zip='x';
}
//check phone
if(!eregi($phonereg, $phone)) {
  $phone='x';
}

 

i have it set to show an x if its not working

 

 

This is my test data

 

name=bob marley

address1=1234 newport rd. n.w.

address2=po box 1234

city=springfield

state=ca

zip=12345

telephone=(123)-456-7890

 

 

the results i am getting

 

name =bob marley

address1=x

address2=po box 1234

city=springfield

state=CA

zip=x

telephone=x

 

 

 

if anyone can help me with this or knows what it is im doing wrong it would help me out alot.

 

thks

You're using ereg, not preg, so the shorthands do not work. I recommend switching to preg.

 

Also:

 

- The state should be checked with an array + in_array, not a regex.

- Unless your data can end with a new line, use \z instead of $.

- Keep in mind that \w includes an underscore (after you switch to preg).

- Unless you're capturing the data, use (?:...) instead of (...).
