All,
I have a text field that a user can enter text into, I then explode it
into an array, and ultimatley build a regular expression such as:
/(advance|racingx)|(advance|racingx)/i
for use in:
preg_match ($reg_expr, $file);
however the expression above doesnot yeild the required result, it will
match a string with any word, whereas i want to match strings with BOTH
words present.
example of the contents of $file that might pass is:
advance_racingx_14_4_29.pdf
another might be, which would not pass is:
advance_fork10_3_4_11.pdf
Thanks in advance for your help...
Brian...
