RE: [PHP] Regular Expressions

I don't know what the original question was, but there is a parse_url function that'll break apart a url into it's various parts. Quote from manual: www.php.net/parse_url ------- Here is a good example of how it would parse this url: http://name:pass@127.0.0.1:6667/pages/page.php?foo=bar#bookmark (URL is fake) This URL uses HTTP, the HTAccess name and password are name and pass, it's a localhost, on port 6667. The file page.php is being queried with foo=bar. It is also set to scroll to the 'bookmark' anchor Parse URL would give us [scheme] = 'http' [host] = '127.0.0.1' [port] = 6667 (Is an INT, not a STRING) [user] = 'user' [path] = '/pages/page.php' [query] = 'foo=bar' [fragment] = 'bookmark' Hopefully this will help someone. -------- I don't know if it does any checking or validating or what...but maybe it'll help?? ---John Holmes... > -----Original Message----- > From: Miguel Cruz [mailto:mnc@stoic.net] > Sent: Wednesday, April 24, 2002 5:17 PM > To: Evan Nemerson > Cc: php-general@lists.php.net > Subject: Re: [PHP] Regular Expressions > > On Wed, 24 Apr 2002, Evan Nemerson wrote: > > A domain cannot contain an underscore, but unless i'm mistaken the > > USERNAME can. the domain name REGEX is [\.a-zA-Z\-]+ > > > > ereg("([_a-zA-Z\-]+|\*)\@[\.a-zA-Z\-]+\.[\.a-zA-Z\-]+",$variable); > > Right you are.
