ereg and eregi allowing entries with out numbers.
if(!eregi("^[a-z0-9]+$", "$pass")){
die("Your passowrd does not meet security requirments. Use your back
button to make corrections.");
}

You regex only matches on character. append a '+' at the end of the
character-class modifier, e.g.
if (!eregi('^[a-z0-9]+$', ...

Since I have been using php I have had a problem with the ereg function
not mathcing patterns properly.
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".
