[Resolved] Regular Expression Match

[rpanning]

I don't know much about regular expression match yet so I need some help.

I'm using ereg to search a string for multiple extensions at the end. For example:
.php
.htm
.html
So I think what I'm looking for is something like ereg(".[php|htm|html]$",$item) but I'm not sure exacly. Any help would be great! Thanks

Maybe try this for your pattern:

".(php|htm|html)$"

tho, I tend to stick with preg instead of ereg

Ex:

if (preg_match('/\\.(php|htm|html)$/i', $filename)) 
{
  echo "Filetype match.";
}

If you must use ereg, it might be a good idea to use eregi instead--it's case-insensitive.
