Wuhtzu Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Just add all the special french chars to your regex: /^[a-zA-ZéÉàÀ]+$/ Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/56377-solved-french-characters/#findComment-278474 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sethupathy Posted June 20, 2007 Author Share Posted June 20, 2007 i did what you said and i added some more like ' and - " and it does not work /^[a-zA-ZéÉàÀ'-" ]+$/ is there another way to add ' - " Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/56377-solved-french-characters/#findComment-278616 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wuhtzu Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 The - (minus) should always be the last character in a set of characters in a regex because it is used to define ranges... eg. a-z 0-9 but when you do this '-" it yields error because no range between ' and " exists. So do this: /^[a-zA-ZéÉàÀ'"-]+$/ Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/56377-solved-french-characters/#findComment-278673 Share on other sites More sharing options...
