Regular expression problem

[sachindesarda]

We are matching the following value to print the string starting with comma using regular expression only.If we try to print last 5 digits only it is working fine.But for white spaces before that it is not working.How should we do that?COde we are using is as follows:-
$val="LOGANSPORT, IN 46947";
if(ereg(",? *[A-Z]{2} +([0-9]{5})$", $val,$combine))
{
echo "Combination is $combine[0]";
}

---

PHP version we are using is 4.2.1

[_e_r_k]

What is it that you would like to print? Do you want to print the entire string, the string after the comma or just the number?

// [e]r!k

[_e_r_k]

If you want to print the number, then change $combine[0] to $combine[1].

// [e]r!k

Is this what you are trying to do?

<?
if ($_GET['get'] == 1) { $val='LOGANSPORT, IN 46947'; } //your test
else { $val='      AURORA,    CO     80013'; } //my test with many spaces everywhere
if(ereg(",? *[A-Z]{2}[ ]+([0-9]{5})$", $val,$combine)) 
{ 
	echo "Combination is $combine[0]<br>Zip code: $combine[1]"; //echo full matching test AND the result we wanted - aka zipcode
} 
?>
