Now my additional regular expression rule causes the PHP warning: Warning: preg_match() expects parameter 2 to be string, array given in /usr/share/pear/HTML/QuickForm/Rule/Regex.php on line 61 The rule is defined: $this->addGroupRule('postcodeGroup', array('postcode' => array( array($this->language['L_InvalidPostcode'], 'regex', '/[a-zA-Z]{1,2}[0-9][0-9A-Za-z]{0,1} {0,1}[0-9][A-Za-z]{2}/', 'client') ))); I've also tried defining the rule as you did with the 'required' rule above, $form->addGroupRule('postcodeGroup', 'Postcode is required', 'regex', '/[a-zA-Z]{1,2}[0-9][0-9A-Za-z]{0,1} {0,1}[0-9][A-Za-z]{2}/', 1, 'client'); Both ways cause the same PHP warning and fail to let me proceed when submitting the form. I have to try and get this nailed before the afternoon today as work is dropping on my head too fast :-( Can anybody with group rule validation experience suggest/help? Please. > Though I agree, rules will not suffer from more and better > documentation... There's so many niggly ways of setting things up to remember.
