preg_match

[kdsxchris]

When I used the following code I got the following error:

 

echo preg_match ('[a-z]{2,6}', 'ccc');

 

Warning: preg_match() [function.preg-match]: Unknown modifier '{' in file on line 3

 

If I used the ereg function, I get no error the results I want. Does PCRE not allow the { quantifier thing?

 

PHP version 4.4.7

Try:

 

echo preg_match ('/[a-z]{2,6}/', 'ccc');

 

 

Orio.

I had the same problem with javascript just today and the fix was almost the exact same thing. I'm just used to java regex methods too much I guess... Thanks.
