[RESOLVED] Html Help 2

[wescooldude3]

OK in another post i was given this weel actually it was different than this but i changed it.

if (preg_match ('@[a-z() -]+@',$state) )
{
}
else {
$binvalid = "<br>Invalid State Please enter Letters Only";
$send = "no";
}

But I can enter Sc in the text box and it will work but when i enter in SC into the text box it wont work, and i dont like that. Is there anyway where i can chnge it so it will accept caps and lower case?

Ps. i have already tried replacing a-z with A-Z and it wont work!!! Need help fast Please.

:eek:

Then it wont do anything.

I found it out i forgot to mark this resolved, instead of a-z i put 0-9 and all of the symbals And removed it from the "else if" an put it under the "if"

If you want letters only:

if(!ctype_alpha($state))
{
   $binvalid = "<br>Invalid State Please enter Letters Only";
   $send = "no";
}

PS: the regex solution would be:

if(!preg_match('/^[a-z]+$/i', $state))
{
   $binvalid = "<br>Invalid State Please enter Letters Only";
   $send = "no";
}

BTW i think your if and else statement is the wrong way round, should it not tell you to just enter letters when you type a symbol, not the otherway round.
