note 43331 added to function.strspn

Yes, it's a possibility. However, i think, it's better like that : <?php function valid($str, $validlength=10, $validmask="abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789_-") { $str=strtolower($str); if (strspn($str, $validmask) == strlen($str) && strlen($str)<=$validlength) return true; return false; } ?> Sorry for my english, i'm french. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strspn.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+43331 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+43331&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+43331&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
