Re: REG_BADRPT error

Hello, Ive been trying a few things and finally I did get rid of the error. I changed the code to: if (!ereg('^(!?=.*[0-9]+.*)(!?=.*[a-zA-Z]+.*)[0-9a-zA-Z]{6,}$', $pass)){ Notice the ! before the two ? This got rid of the error, but it still isnt working the way I want it to. That line should validate the variable $pass, which should be greater than 6 characters and contain at least one numbers and one letter. That line should be true if $pass does not equil 6 characters and contain at least one numbers and one letter. Can someone correct me on this. I am new to PHP so I am still trying to get the hang of it. Any help will be appreciated.
