[RESOLVED] [REGEX] to validate a mime-types string ..

[whisher06]

Hi.
In a upload class I've got a method like this:

public function addExtension($extension) { 
        $this->extensions[]= $extension; 
    }

I'd like to validate the extension string (ie image/jpeg)
therefore I need a regex that validate a string with a
slash inside.
(Yes, I agree I've to study regex :o )

Bye.

if(preg_match('#^[-\w]+/[-\w]+$#', $extension))
{
   // valid
}

Thanks a lot buddy 😉

but mime types can contain + signs, for instance 'application/xhtml+xml'

Gotta change the '[-\w]' to '[-\w+]'
