my suggestion:

...
if(!ereg("^[0-9]{10}$", $_POST['personnr'])) 

{
  die("PNr invalid.");  // exits and prints the message
}
?>

<html>
...

Chrysanthus

it dosent work have a misst some thing?

<html>

<BODY BGCOLOR="#50538D" TOPMARGIN=0 LEFTMARGIN=0 link=black>
Welcome to members registration
<body>

<html>

</form>

<?php

if(!ereg("^[0-9]{10}$", $_POST['personnr']))

{
die("PNr invalid.");
}

ir4z0r

g sorry, I didn't check the html code

file/page: a form, like you used, its action points to a php script
the script: it contains the code, I gave you at the very beginning
after that, you write/do the action you want to do, if the number is valid

Chrysanthus

😃 thanks man it works GG

what does the error message say? or what happens?

generally, avoid using special letters in variable names, like $lösenord

I'm not sure, what the results of
if(ereg("^[a-öA-Ö]", $_POST['lastname']))
are, because of the Ö and ö

Chrysanthus

this is the result.. funny thing is that it is right letters nbut it still shows the error message

Ditt Förnamn:__' Leif
Ditt Efternamn:__' Hannusas error in lastname field should only be letters

look everything is right i think...

<?php
if(ereg("^[a-zA-Z]", $_POST['lastname']))

{
$lastname = $_POST['efternamn'];
} else {
die ("error in lastname field should only be letters");
}

Personnummer: .' <?php echo $_POST["personnr"]; ?>

<?php
if(ereg("^[0-9]{10}$", $POST['personnr'])) {
$personnr = $POST['personnr'];
} else {
die ("error in personnr field should only be numbers");
}

hmm, can't find anything, maybe add a $ add the end of the regex
"^[a-zA-Z]+$"
but this shouldn't cause the problem 😕

maybe the character count (+) was the prob? + means 1 or more, * means 0 or more
