I am trying to test the login id entered from a form.
Checking that the contents are upper or lower case alpha or numeric
0-9
plus the special characters - dash and # pound sign
Code:
if(eregi("([[:alnum:]\#\-]+)", $loginid))
{ print("loginid is alnum"); } else { print("loginid is not
alnum"); }
I get the message "loginid is alnum" no matter what I enter to test.
What is wrong with the statement syntax that it don’t work
correctly?
Thanks for your help
