Hi . I have an issue wich may be a tip... if I'm wrong plz correct me cuz
I struggled a couple of hours with this one.
<tip type="php">
I wanted a regex in a script to accept anything that was alphanumeric,
(A-Z, a-z, 0-9) , any dashes, any lines.
This one did the job fine:
if(!ereg("^[a-zA-Z0-9\/_/-]+$",$num_prod))
Now. I wanted to be able to accept whitespace. The following, simple
adjustement SHOULD of worked:
if(!ereg("^[a-zA-Z0-9\/_/-/s]+$",$num_prod))
But failed. Turns out... if your url is coming from a query string, DO take
into account the % ! ! !
SO:
if(!ereg("^[a-zA-Z0-9\/_/-/s/%]+$",$num_prod))
WORKS PERFECT !
</tip>
