AFAIR these special characters lose their special meaning within a
character class (apart of the '-'). But if you put the dash at a
position where it can't be misinterpreted as range, even this works
without escaping.
The following returns OK.
<?php
$pattern = "/^[^0-9][a-zA-Z0-9-_. !?,~?`^áãàâÁÃÀÂéêÊíÍúÚóÓõÕçÇ-]{10,45}$/i";
$subject = "Coração de Leão no Café -_,.^";
if (preg_match($pattern, $subject)) {
echo 'OK';
} else {
echo '!OK';
}
?>
Feel free to emend this.
