Re: regex and global vars problem

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The code I just showed you is supposed to do the following, the chk_mac() returns a true or false on the vars $mac1, $mac2 and $mac3. $mac3 is the only var that should not be thrown into the fix_mac() function which is working correctly. The problem is when $mac1 and $mac2 get put into the fix_mac() function nothing is being returned.

I am not recieving any error codes, just an empty var.

Sample output:

00aa11bb22cc converted to
00-aa-11-bb-22-cc converted to
00:aa:11:bb:22:cc is valid.

As you can see $mac3 is a valid example of a h/w address where $mac1 & $mac2 were returned from the fix_mac() function as an empty string.

Um I did actually, but I will re-interate the problem with more detail.

the vars $mac1, $mac2, & $mac3 are to get passed to the chk_mac() function which determines if it is a valid hex representation of a h/w address, if it does not meet the criteria of having a ":" separating every two characters it then passes the var to the fix_mac() function which attempts to fix the string or h/w address by either replacing any "-" with a ":" or to break the h/w address up and insert a ":" every two characters. I also believe this is the one you should be playing with as the last post I added a new regex which wasn't working.

OK, you've told us what your code does. Now can you explain what the
problem is? "A new regex which wasn't working" is a bit vague.

* Does it throw an error?
 - If so, can we have the error message?

* Does it mark invalid strings as valid?
 - Or vice versa?

Just posting a pile of code with an explanation of what it does and
leaving the rest of us to figure out what the problem is, is not helping
us to help you.
