[SOLVED] combining expressions.

Recommended Posts

I am testing to make sure that characters inputted are Japanese. I have the following three regex expressions (three different Japanese alphabets)

 

[。-゚]

[ぁ-ん]

[亜-熙]

 

Since most of you probably can't see japanese characters, just trust me that they work (I have tested them) and for the sake of communication, lets call them

 

[1-1]

[2-2]

[3-3]

 

Right now I am using them individually in this pattern:

 

mb_ereg('[x-x]', $this -> text_data)

 

(mb_ereg is the multibyte/Japanese form of ereg)

 

I want to combine these three expressions so that I can check to see if a string is Japanese. I tried using OR statements with each of the three mb_ereg functions, but  in order for that to work, there can be no combining of the three alphabets. But Japanese regularly mixes and matches them. So how would I put those three regex together so that I can do one single mb_ereg test on them?
