Request: Send a blank email to php-general+get-212964@lists.php.net to get a copy of this message
I want to check a string for only numbers and letters but am banging my head with regex: $good = "joh_'"; // Let's check the good e-mail if (preg_match("/[a-z0-9]/", $good)) { echo "Good"; } else { echo "Bad"; } This returns Good, why? Thanks!
