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"
Actually, in the above case it doesn't... from the URL referenced...
For example, the character class [aeiou] matches any lower case vowel,
while [^aeiou] matches any character that is not a lower case vowel.
If the ^ is outside of the []'s then it matches the start of the string...

hey,
you're right ;) must've missed the opening [ there.
Well spotted!
