I'm trying to do what should be a very simple regex, but can't seem to get
PHP to work, yet regex-coach and even an XML .XSD work fine:
Valid forms of a windows logon are:
"foo\bar"
"\\foo\bar"
function isValidWinLogon($logon)
{
//$logon = '\\\\foo\\bar';
$logon = '\\foo\bar';
print "<P><PRE>logon = '$logon'<BR></PRE>\n";
preg_match('/(\\\\)?.+\\.+/', $logon, $matches);
//preg_match('/(\\\\)?.+(\\).+/', $logon, $matches);
print_r($matches);
return (count($matches) > 0);
}
I'm obviously passing in the strings, but for testing, I tried to hard-code
it.
First, when I use single ticks, I thought that meant to be taken literally.
Seems I still have to escape (\) the backslashes.
In either case, the $matches array is EMPTY.
Further more, WTF do I get this error:
"Compilation failed: missing ) at offset 12" (pointing to the commented out
preg_match.
WTF should adding a set of parenthesis cause a compilation error?!
