How to have optional spaces. For beginners like me. I finally found the solution. I need this so a surname like mine will 'match'. eg. 'De David' <?function eregi_alpha_sp( $data ) { if ( eregi('^[[:alpha:]| ]+$', $data) ) {return true;} return false; }?> The spaces bit, is '| ]'. The 'pipe' meaning OR and a space. So, the expression is Alpha OR Space ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.pcre.php Edit Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+32149 Delete Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+32149&report=yes Reject Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+32149&report=yes
