Complex ereg data check

[Yrogerg]

I have a string taken from a form and I need to verify that it contains at least 1 number, 1 upppercase letter, and 1 lowercase letter.

Any ideas?

So in other words you want to make sure it matches "[0-9]", matches "[A-Z]" and matches "[a-z]"?

[Yrogerg]

yea, basically. so would I write that as:

$str = "ewTY5";

if(!ereg("^[a-z][A-Z][0-9]", $str))
     echo "Not Cool";
else
     echo "Cool";

// should echo Cool

No, they're three separate matches (your pattern won't match 'ewTY5' or '5aB', for example).
