Hi all, Can anybody spot why this doesn't seem to be working right? The manual ( http://us2.php.net/preg_match) says it returns "false" on error, but preg_last_error() returns 0, which I assume points to the "PREG_NO_ERROR" error code. <code> preg_match("^ldap(s)?://[a-zA-Z0-9-]+\.[a-zA-Z.]{2,5}$",$this->server) </code> I also tried ereg(), and have searched and gone through the comments. Why would a regex operation return false? That may be ugly, since I've not done a lot of regex's yet. I have checked and $this->server does insert a valid string. What I am trying to do is validate ldap://com.com and ldaps://com.com and all valid variations of. Is there something wrong with the regex, or am I pumping an invalid format into preg_match()? Incidentally, I stole the last piece (after ldaps://) off a regex for email addresses (from SitePoint, http://www.sitepoint.com/article/regular-expressions-php).
