I found a reqular expresion that I'm using to check for valid characters in
file names.
Here's the sample code:
if(preg_match("[^a-zA-Z0-9,._\+\()\-]",$filename))
{
//blah, blah, blah
}
However, when I run the script I get the following error:
Warning: Compilation failed: unmatched parentheses at offset 17 in
/home/httpd/sigmarapid/html/test/upload.php on line 137 (the line with the
preg_match)
I'm new to regular expressions so any help would be greatly appreciated.
