Re: LOL, preg_match still not working.

Are you running under FreeBSD 6.2 and/or upgraded recently from 5.2.1 to 5.2.2? I had the same problem on FreeBSD 6.2, with php5 installed from ports collection after I portupgraded to 5.2.1. For me it appeared to be some kind weird misconfiguration problem that happened during the portupgrade... I had to: pkg_delete -rv "php5*" rm -rf /var/db/ports/php5* rm -rf /usr/local/lib/* cd /usr/ports/lang/php5 make install clean cd /usr/ports/lang/php5-extensions make install clean A bit harsh, but all of the preg_* errors disappeared since then.

Addendum: I encountered a problem when the string contains linebreaks. Maybe adding \n\r into the brackets fixes your problem. On Sat, Feb 17, 2007 at 09:27:59AM -0500, Beauford wrote:

Hi, I previously had some issues with preg_match and many of you tried to help, but the same problem still exists. Here it is again, if anyone can explain to me how to get this to work it would be great - otherwise I'll just remove it as I just spent way to much time on this. Thanks Here's the code. if(empty($comment)) { $formerror['comment'] = nocomments; } elseif(!preg_match('|^[a-zA-Z0-9!?@#$%^&*();:_.\\\\ /\t-]+$|', $comment)) { $formerror['comment'] = invalidchars; } This produces an error, which I believe it should not.
