Hi, I previously had some issues with preg_match and many of you tried to help, but the same problem still exists. Here it is again, if anyone can explain to me how to get this to work it would be great - otherwise I'll just remove it as I just spent way to much time on this. Thanks Here's the code. if(empty($comment)) { $formerror['comment'] = nocomments; } elseif(!preg_match('|^[a-zA-Z0-9!?@#$%^&*();:_.\\\\ /\t-]+$|', $comment)) { $formerror['comment'] = invalidchars; } This produces an error, which I believe it should not.
