[Resolved] regular expression

revez2002

Hello all,

I realize that there have been a number of threads posted on this subject, as I have reviewed many of them. However, I am attempting to use a regualr expression, and cannot get it to function properly.

What I want to do is to check a strings value to make sure that it only contains numbers and nothing else. If it does contain any other characters, than I want to provide a message to the user.

Here is the code that I am using:

elseif (!ereg("[0-9]", $opp_amount))
{
echo "<li class=\"regular\">Revenue Amounts for the Revenue field can only contain numbers.</li>";
}

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I did some experimenting, and got the code working with the following:

elseif (!ereg("^[0-9]*$", $opp_amount))
{
echo "<li class=\"regular\">Invalid Input Revenue Amounts for the Revenue field can only contain numbers.</li>";
}

FYI.

🙂
