This took me a little to find out, but from one PHP/Regex newb to another if your trying to let
people use Square Brackets in a string: [ ]
Like in this string for example: ^[a-zA-Z0-9]{1,}$
This following will most likely not work (You can't backslash them): ^[a-zA-Z0-9\[\]]{1,}$
So, to escape the Square Brackets, use the following to delimit collating symbols:
[. Special Character Goes Here .]
So The New Expression: ^[a-zA-Z0-9 [.[.] [.].] ]{1,}$ (I spaced it so it was less confusing)
