Hi!
Can anyone help me with eregi?
I'm trying to validate IRC nicknames.
They can start with a-zA-Z[]{}_-^||
and the next symbols can be a-zA-Z0-9[]{}_-
I use the following code to check this:
if ((eregi("[]a-z{}\|[_-]([]a-z0-9{}^\\|[_-])*", $unick) == 0) || (strlen($unick)>15)) { echo "Invalid nick"; }
BUT... when I enter asd# for example
it returns me that this is valid nickname.
What am I doing wrong?
this is what i'm using: (by detuned)
$allowedchars = "]a-zA-Z0-9`-_{}|[";
if (ereg("[".$allowedchars."]",$username))
return "invalid characters in username ( use irc-legal chars: ".$allowedchars." )";
10x for the help
i just copy/paste your code
and enter - adsfsd## for nickname.
well, the same result - it seems that
this is 'valid' nickname
if i enter # as the first symbol - no problem
but if it is second or etc. - the problem occurs
10x again for da help
