regular expression

[Anon]

I need to check if a certain variable has digits.

In perl you could do this:

if($something =~ /[\d]/ig ) echo "numbers"

or if wanted to check if it didnt have vowels i could do this

if($something !~ /[aeiou]/ig) echo "no vowels"

i have tried "ereg("/[\d]/ig", $something)" but it doesnt work

can some one please help me thanks.

do this:

if (ereg('[AaEeIeOoUu]{1,}',$source_string) {
echo 'vowels found';
}
else {
echo 'no vowels!';
}

ereg() returns 1 if its true, and 0 if its not.

and if you use:
ereg($patern, &source_string, $arr);

echo $arr[0];

that will echo the patern matched from the string back.

Hi!! It isn't really necesary to specify '{1,}' because a REGEX, if my knowledge doesn't fail me, it allways recognize for one character.

Well, thats all folks! =)
