!ereg parse error

[azz0r]

I shouldve expected this, but really do I have to comment out the ereg line to get rid of the parse error, I doubt it, but I wondered.

I get a parse error on line 18 on the following.

<? 

if ($username  == "" || $password == "" || $email == "" || $password != $password2) 

{echo "Error - You missed something out, press back and try again";} 

else 

{$exists = false; 
$usercheck = mysql_query("SELECT username,email FROM unz_users WHERE username = '$username'"); 
while($check = mysql_fetch_object($usercheck)) 

if($username == $check->username || $email == $check->email) 
$exists = true; 

if($exists == true) 
{echo "Error - Username or Email address already exists";} 
else if(!ereg('^[-!#$%&'*+./0-9=?A-Z^_`a-z{|}~]+'.'@'.'[-!#$%&'*+/0-9=?A-Z^_`a-z{|}~]+.'.'[-!#$%&'*+./0-9=?A-Z^_`a-z{|}~]+$', $email)) 
{echo "Error - Please enter a valid email address i.e. [email][e-mail][/email]";} 
else 

{mysql_query("INSERT INTO `unz_users` ( `uid` , `username` , `password`, `email`, `status`, `regdate`, `ip`, `host`) VALUES ('', '$username', '$password',  '$email', 'member', '$regdate', '$ip', '$host')"); 
echo "$username</br>$password</br>$regdate</br>$email</br>$ip</br>$host </br>User added";}} 

?>

Look over your own color coded code:

You've got this:

else if(!ereg('^[-!#$%&'*+./0...

Notice how the "string" in red turns green after the second ' ???

Hi,

you could try to use

ereg("..."); 

instead

[azz0r]

Nope, doesnt work 🙁

[azz0r]

ok fixed 🙂

if($exists == true) 
{echo "Error - Username or Email address already exists";} 
else if(!eregi("^([a-z0-9]+)([._-]([a-z0-9]+))*[@]([a-z0-9]+)([._-]([a-z0-9]+))*[.]([a-z0-9]){2}([a-z0-9])?$", $email))
{echo "Error - Please enter a valid email address i.e. [email][e-mail][/email]";}
