ereg function

[mhoward]

Hi,
I am using the ereg function as displayed below to set the cost of domain names. However, the net.uk value is picking up the net cost of £11.99, when is should be returning £5.99.

Can anyone help?

Here's the code...

foreach ($register_dom as $idomains) {
if (ereg("co.uk",$idomains)) {
$reg_cost = "5.99";
}

if (ereg("ltd.uk",$idomains)) {
$reg_cost = "5.99";
}

if (ereg("plc.uk",$idomains)) {
$reg_cost = "5.99";
}

if (ereg("net.uk",$idomains)) {
$reg_cost = "5.99";
}

if (ereg("org.uk",$idomains)) {
$reg_cost = "5.99";
}

if (ereg("com",$idomains)) {
$reg_cost = "11.99";
}

if (ereg("net",$idomains)) {
$reg_cost = "11.99";
}

if (ereg("org",$idomains)) {
$reg_cost = "11.99";
}

if (ereg("uk.co",$idomains)) {
$reg_cost = "21.99";
}

if (ereg("biz",$idomains)) {
$reg_cost = "21.99";
}

if (ereg("info",$idomains)) {
$reg_cost = "21.99";
}

if (ereg("uk.com",$idomains)) {
$reg_cost = "47.99";
}

if (ereg("uk.net",$idomains)) {
$reg_cost = "47.99";
}

print ("<tr>
<td width='50%' bgcolor='#3399CC' align='center'><font face='verdana' size='2' color='#FFFFFF'><input type='hidden' name='dom_cost[]' value='$reg_cost'>$idomains <input type='hidden' name='reg_domains[]' value='$idomains'></font></td>
<td width='50%' bgcolor='#3399CC' align='center'><font face='verdana' size='2' color='#FFFFFF'><select size ='1' name='domain_host[]' class='input'>$host</select></font></td>
</tr>");
}

Hi,

try this:
$register_dom = array("test.net.uk");

function domain_cost($idomains) {
if (ereg("co.uk",$idomains)) {
$reg_cost = "5.99";
return $reg_cost;
exit();
}

if (ereg("ltd.uk",$idomains)) {
$reg_cost = "5.99";
return $reg_cost;
exit();
}

if (ereg("plc.uk",$idomains)) {
$reg_cost = "5.99";
return $reg_cost;
exit();
}

if (ereg("net.uk",$idomains)) {
$reg_cost = "5.99";
return $reg_cost;
exit();
}

if (ereg("org.uk",$idomains)) {
$reg_cost = "5.99";
return $reg_cost;
exit();
}

if (ereg("com",$idomains)) {
$reg_cost = "11.99";
return $reg_cost;
exit();
}

if (ereg("net",$idomains)) {
$reg_cost = "11.99";
return $reg_cost;
exit();
}

if (ereg("org",$idomains)) {
$reg_cost = "11.99";
return $reg_cost;
exit();
}

if (ereg("uk.co",$idomains)) {
$reg_cost = "21.99";
return $reg_cost;
exit();
}

if (ereg("biz",$idomains)) {
$reg_cost = "21.99";
return $reg_cost;
exit();
}

if (ereg("info",$idomains)) {
$reg_cost = "21.99";
return $reg_cost;
exit();
}

if (ereg("uk.com",$idomains)) {
$reg_cost = "47.99";
return $reg_cost;
exit();
}

if (ereg("uk.net",$idomains)) {
$reg_cost = "47.99";
return $reg_cost;
exit();
}
}

foreach ($register_dom as $idomains) {
echo domain_cost($idomains);
}

Three things:
1) Replace all but the first "if" with "elseif". "net.uk" is being matched, and $reg_cost is being set correctly, but a little bit later it's matching "net", with a subsequent reassignment to $reg_cost. Once you have a match you don't want to keep checking, hence the "elseif".

2) Replace "." with ".". The '.' will match any character unless it's escaped in this way.

3) Add an "end of string" $ marker to the end of each of your patterns and a "." at the start, e.g. "co.uk$" instead of "co.uk". Otherwise "organbank.com" will be classified as an .org, and "foo.uk.com" will be classified as a .uk.co (I didn't know Colombia was into this sort of thing)
