Note Submitter: amigojack at gmx dot net ---- @clbmuvn at gmail dot com, 25-Sep-2010 03:42: Unless you really need all the repeatings (and I assume you only need a pattern without all the pluses) you must specify an ungreedy mode: <?php $str ='/^00+[0-1]+[0-1]+[0-1] +[0-1]+[0-1]+[0-1]+00+[0-1]+ [0-1]+[0-1]+[0-1]+[0-1]+[0-1]+00+ [0-1]+[0-1]+[0-1]+[0-1]+[0-1]+[0-1]+00/Ui'; if ((preg_match($str,"00000000000000000000000000"))) {echo "Oh - it works";} ?>
