note 63157 added to function.ereg

I wanted a more strict check for UK postcodes, and decided to do it by stripping all whitespace then using ereg: <?php $pcode=str_replace(" ","",$in_post_code); if (!ereg('^[a-zA-Z]{1,2}[0-9]{1,2}[a-zA-Z]{0,1}[0-9]{1}[a-zA-Z]{2}$', $pcode)) { return false; } ?> Probably could be improved, as I've just started, but it matches everything listed on the post office spec. ---- Server IP: 85.116.0.130 Probable Submitter: 80.177.127.68 ---- X-Spam-Status: No, hits=3.1 required=5.0 tests=DATE_MISSING,FROM_NO_LOWER autolearn=no version=2.64 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ereg.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/note/edit/63157 Del: integrated -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/63157/integrated Del: useless -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/63157/useless Del: bad code -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/63157/bad+code Del: spam -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/63157/spam Del: non-english -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/63157/non-english Del: in docs -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/63157/in+docs Del: other reasons-- http://master.php.net/note/delete/63157 Reject -- http://master.php.net/note/reject/63157 Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
