Validate Currency

[nigem]

Hi,

I am trying to write a small function to validate currency (as I have found that there is no isCurrency() function).

I have started using ereg, but as I am new to PHP, and having quite a few troubles. I was wondering if anyone has done this before, how they have done it? All I am trying to do is make sure that a certain varaiable is in currency format?? It shouldn't be that hard, although I am finding that it is...

Thanks in advance,

Nigel

Just outta curiosity, isn't currency a numeral? why not use is_numreic(), is_float() functions?

Yep, But what I am trying to do is make sure it is in proper currency format. Because if it is a float, then people can use 54E3.45563 which isn't in currency format...

I'm working on it though (and learning regular expressions fairly well!!)

Any more help would still be appreciated though...

Thanks...
