I've tried a function like this:
function validate() { //
if ( is_numeric($input1) && is_numeric($input2) && ctype_alpha($input3) &&
ctype_alpha($input4) )
return true;
}
And then I call the function:
if (validate() == false) {
some action;
}
My problem is I get the action every time, even though the input is of the
right type. And, is ctype_alpha() the only way to check for only alphabetic
characters?
And (this started with one question), anyone got a good solution on
validating email-adresses with php?
