OK, this is off-topic like every other "regex help" post, but I know some of you enjoy these puzzles :)
I need a validation regex that will "pass" a string. The string can be no longer than some maximum length, and it can contain any characters except two consecutive ampersands (&) anywhere in the string.
I'm stumped - ideas?
TIA

if(preg_match("/^([^&]|&(?!&)){1,42}$/",$string)) {
This one will work I think. Returns false if it finds two consecutive "&" or exceeds 42 chars.
