Special Characters

[millercj]

Hi everyone,

          I'm having some issues with a script. I want it to examine a string and simply report a true/false whether there are special characters in the string.

 

I found an example on line and tried to adapt it to what i'm tryig to do but no matter the input it is spitting out a 0

 

This is what i have

<?PHP
$input=$_POST['input'];
$review = preg_match('/!@#$%^&*()/',$input);
echo $review;
?>

Yuo should change your regexp:

 

$review = preg_match('/[!@#$%^&*()]/', $input);

 

This will match when any of '!@#$%^&*()' will be present at $input.
