2 questions (language type & posted vars)

[fatnjazzy]

hi
1. how do i get the language type of a var posted from the user?
i want to confirm that there is no other languages besides english in the Email Field.

2. how can i turn $_POST[] to a array.
   instead of:

print $POST["username"] ;
print $POST["password"] ;

i want to get...
print $POST[0] ;
print $POST[1] ;

thnks

Use a REGEX!

Why would you want to do such a bizarre thing? $_POST is still an array even if the keys are not numeric. If you want numeric keys just give your form items numeric names. i.e. <input type="text" name="0">.

An email field would, I presume, contain an email address. This would be checked with a REGEX for correct syntax. If that is not what you mean maybe you should run your English through some sort of confirmation script.

1 -> Only by having a large array of acceptable words for that particular language. If there are too many words which do not match, it is not english. But keep in mind typos, shorthand, ...

2 -> Don't.

Email addresses aren't in English anyway.

thanks,
about eregi, how can i define a range (max and min)for a string.
i want that the user will put password between 4-8 letters and numbers.

like

if(eregi("[a-zZ-a0-9]{4-8}"))
{
return true;
}
else
return false

this code returns an error.
thanks all

<?php
//error_reporting(E_ALL);
$string = $_POST['string'];

print '<form action="#" method="post">
<input type="text" name="string" value="'.$string.'">
<input type="submit" value="submit">
</form>';




if(eregi('^[a-z0-9]{4,8}$', $string)){
	print '"'.$string.'" passes the test.';
}else{
	print '"'.$string.'" fails the test.';
} 
?>
