For example I am trying the use ereg to ensure that users use passowrds that contain a combination of letters and numbers. These are my HTML and PHP codes: <input type="password" name="password"> if(!ereg("([a-zA-Z0-9])", "$password")){ echo "Bad Password"; } The problem that I encounter with ereg is that I have been able to enter passwords from the html form that do not contain numbers and or only have mixed case letters but ereg IF statment does match the pattern and echo "Bad Password". ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=16358&edit=1
