Your function invocation is incorrect. I believe what you meant is $var = filter_var($string_to_filter, FILTER_VALIDATE_REGEXP, array('options' => array('regexp' => '/^something$/'))); c.f. http://us.php.net/manual/en/function.filter-var.php Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-03-07 22:33:24] tomp at tomp dot co dot uk Description: ------------ The regexp option is missing when using filter_var function in PHP 5.4, but was present using the same SPEC file build process when using PHP 5.3.
