RE: [PHP] preg_match problem

Not a big regex expert, but first off i would recommend not using / as a delimiter for your pattern if you are trying to catch forward slashes in your text. I would use a pattern like: #[a-zA-Z0-9/]{6,}# Regards, Tim > -----Message d'origine----- > De : Németh Zoltán [mailto:znemeth@alterationx.hu] > Envoyé : vendredi 19 janvier 2007 15:26 > À : php-general@lists.php.net > Objet : [PHP] preg_match problem > > Hi all, > > I have a simple checking like > > if (preg_match("/[\w\x2F]{6,}/",$a)) > > as I would like to allow all "word characters" as mentioned at > http://hu2.php.net/manual/hu/reference.pcre.pattern.syntax.php > plus the '/' character, and at least 6 characters. > > But it throws > > Warning: preg_match(): Unknown modifier ']' > > and returns false for "abc/de/ggg" which string should be okay. > If I omit the "\x2F", everything works fine but "/" characters are not > allowed.
