Re: preg_match problem

[Alligator <alligator_666@xxxxxxxxx>]

Use preg_match_all, for example:

<?php

$s1 = 'Davis, Nathan Ventura';
$s2 = 'Davis, Nathan, Ventura';
$s3 = 'Davis Nathan Ventura';

$r1 = justOneComma($s1);
$r2 = justOneComma($s2);
$r3 = justOneComma($s3);

echo "$s1 = " . ($r1 ? 'true' : 'false') . "<br/>";
echo "$s2 = " . ($r2 ? 'true' : 'false') . "<br/>";
echo "$s3 = " . ($r3 ? 'true' : 'false') . "<br/>";

function justOneComma($pStr)
{
    return preg_match_all('/,/', $pStr, $mt1) == 1;
}

?>


Hope this helps

 How can I check the string value using preg_match()?
 
 The name inputted should have exactly one comma (,). If 0, 2, or more commas are encountered, return FALSE,
 
 Sample:
 
 Davis, Nathan Ventura = True
 Davis, Nathan, Ventura = False
 Davis Nathan Ventura = False
 
 Your help is appreciated.
