preg_match problem

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

 



I'm trying to get this but not quite there. I want to allow the following
characters.

A-Za-z0-9!@#$%&()*;:_.'/\ and a space.

Is there a special order these need to be in or escaped somehow. For
example, if I just allow _' the ' is fine, if I add the other characters,
the ' gets preceded by a \ and an error is returned. If I take the ' out of
the sting below it works fine, I get no errors returned. I am also using
stripslashes on the variable.

This is my code. (although I have tried various things with it trying to get
it right)

if(preg_match("/^[-A-Za-z0-9!@#%&\(\)\*;:_.\'\$ ]+$/", $string)) {

Thanks
