Hi List,
my research hasn't turned anything useful up.
Probably 'cause I don't have enough info.
I've been playing around with the ereg function.
What I was wondering is what is the ^ for like
in the below example?
    ereg('[^[:space:]a-zA-Z0-9_.-]{1,}', $name)

thx
janbro
it denotes the "start of the string"
This might help (although it's for PCRE syntax, the POSIX (ereg(i)) syntax is very similair):

This is the manpage for the POSIX syntax: (might be a bit harder to read if you're just starting)
