Re: Sterilize user input function

Hi, You might want to have a look at http://www.thewebmasters.net/php/Validator.phtml is a class for validating serveral things. It is a PHP class. You can have a look at the regexps they have used. But as stated before it would be better to check the syntax instead... if it is not a phone number just do not accept it and require the user to enter it again. Sean C. McCarhy SCI, S.L.
