Note Submitter: info at reiner-keller dot de ---- Pointing to the post of "internet at sourcelibre dot com": Instead of using PerlRegExp for e.g. german "Umlaute" like <?php $bolMatch = preg_match("/^[a-zA-ZäöüÄÖÜ]+$/", $strData); ?> use the setlocal command and the POSIX format like <?php setlocale (LC_ALL, 'de_DE'); $bolMatch = preg_match("/^[[:alpha:]]+$/", $strData); ?> This works for any country related special character set. Remember since the "Umlaute"-Domains have been released it's almost mandatory to change your RegExp to give those a chance to feed your forms which use "Umlaute"-Domains (e-mail and internet address). Live can be so easy reading the manual ;-)
