You need to escape that forward slash in the character class:
preg_match("/^[A-Za-z0-9!@#$%&()*;:_.'\/
Also, you've got only two backslashes in your char class. PHP is
reducing this to a single backslash before the space character. I
think you intend this to be two backslashes in the pattern so you
need four backslashes in PHP:
preg_match("/^[A-Za-z0-9!@#$%&()*;:_.'\/\\\\ ]+$/", $string)
On top of this, every time a ' is entered it gets preceded by \. If I just
check for the characters like below that doesn't happen. Totally confused.
if(preg_match("/^[-A-Za-z0-9_.' ]+$/", $string)) {
check out magic_quote_gpc??
use the funciton "get_magic_quotes_gpc()" to determine if it is on and
run stripslashes() on the value if you find that it is on.
