For the UK Postcode parses the script should read as below. i.e. without the question marks. The
reason being that a format such as "A1 2BC" is used for some London postcodes. Without the
space the code would assume that the Area code was A12 rather than A1. Hope that makes sense. I
think I'm right on this one.
function valid_postcode ($str) {
return (ereg ('^[A-Z]{1,2}[0-9]{1,2}[A-Z]{0,1} [0-9][A-Z]{2}$', $str));
}
