[SOLVED] eregi form problem

[Kemik]

Hello all,

 

Can anyone explain why my form won't allow "Test Title" without the " to pass through? I originally thought it was the space, but it doesn't allow "TestTitle" either.

 

<?php 
/* Ensure title is alphanumeric */
         else if(!eregi("^([0-9a-z]\.\' \-)+$", $subtitle)){
            $form->setError($field, "* Title not alphanumeric");
         } ?>

 

The above code is part of a range of checks, however as the form is giving me this error I can only presume it's because of this area of code.

 

Edit: I taken the part of code from a username check (the code above is to check the title of a news post). You can see the original code below...

<?php
         /* Check if username is not alphanumeric */
         else if(!eregi("^([0-9a-z])+$", $subuser)){
            $form->setError($field, "* Username not alphanumeric");
         } ?>

What letter you wanna allow user to put?

Take note of your [0-9a-z], it only allows small letter but not capital.

So it should be [0-9a-zA-Z], or simply just use this

else if(!eregi("^([a-zA-Z0-9\.\' ]+)$", $subtitle)){

That's weird. My username allows Capital letters. I want to allow . - ' and spaces in my news title but that code I supplied will only allow alum single words.

I've tried adding A-Z however it still doesn't work.

 

<?php

/* Ensure title is alphanumeric */
         else if(!eregi("^([0-9a-zA-Z\.\' \-]\.\' )+$", $subtitle)){
            $form->setError($field, "* Title not alphanumeric");
         }

?>

 

EDIT: I removed \.\'  after the ] and it now works... I think.

 

Thanks.
