[SOLVED] preg

[asmith]

 

i want to verify a sentence like :

 

a,r,h,f,bb,r,t,s,hth

 

letters or words between ","

 

my current code is :

if (!preg_match("/^([a-z]+,*)+$/",$a))
{
echo "no";
}

 

but it allows 2 or more  ","      and i want to end with word or letter,  not end with "," 

how can i fix it ?

 

thanks

Try this code:

 

<?php 
if (!preg_match("/^[a-z]+(,[a-z]+)+$/",$a))
{
   echo "no";
}
?>

[asmith]

it should be this :

 

<?php 
if (!preg_match("/^[a-z]+(,[a-z]+)*$/",$a))
{
   echo "no";
}
?>

 

 

thanks for taking time
