eregi

[Daney11]

Hey im using

 

function CharacterFilter($value){
  $value = stripslashes($value);
  $value = trim($value);
  if (eregi ('^[A-Za-z0-9-]{2,35}$', $value)) {
    return true;
  }
  return false;
}

 

How would i be able to add more characters such as _ ^ " etc

Add them to the character class. A-Z0-9_ can be changed to \w: [-\w"^]

I cant seem to get that working.

 

If i want to allow

 

! " ^ : _ - . a-z A-Z 0-9

 

Just those.... how would i do it?

Thanks

Ack! My mistake. \w only works under PREG, which you could switch to:

 

preg_match('/\A[-\w.^"!:]+\z/', $data);

 

If you prefer to stay in ereg, simply switch \w with A-Za-z0-9_ and \A and \z with ^ and $.
