... much blah blah blah ...
I've probably read 100 pages on this, and no matter what I try it doesn't
work. Including all of what you suggested above - is my PHP possessed?
if(preg_match("/[EMAIL PROTECTED]&()*;:_.'/\\ ]+$/", $string)) { gives me
this error.
Warning: preg_match() [function.preg-match]: Unknown modifier '\' in
/constants.php on line 107
So if If you wouldn't mind, could you show me exactly what I need right
from
the beginning and explain why it works.
i.e.
if(preg_match(what goes here", $string)) {
Echo "You got it";
if (preg_match('/[EMAIL PROTECTED]&()*;:_.'\\/\\\\ ]+$/', $string))
Use single quotes and double back-slashes. PHP strings also have escape
sequences that use the back-slash as escape character, that's why you have
to double them. And single quotes to avoid the $ character interpreted as
the start of a variable.
PS: Will we be risking going the perl way if we ask that PHP supported
regular expressions natively (I mean: without having to provide them as
strings)?

Yes. I don't know about other people's objections (I have no problem
with the look and feel of "naked" regular expressions, but the parser
would get a bit hairier. I mean, parsers.

Close but no cigar. Because you're using apostrophe to quote the
expression, PHP interprets the apostrophe inside the character class
as ending the quoted expressions and fails. Both PHP and PREG need
you to escape any character inside a string that's used to delimit
the string itself.
(I think it's just as important to test the code we offer to solve
problems on the list as it is to research problems before posting
them. This is all getting archived....)

I have tried all the examples posted in the last couple of days, and none of
them, including the above work. Is there another solution to this, as this
just seems to be way to buggy?

On top of this, every time a ' is entered it gets preceded by \. If I just
check for the characters like below that doesn't happen. Totally confused.

Here is my rendition of what I think you are looking for.
$str = 'tab( )/space( )/[EMAIL PROTECTED]&*();:...';
if ( preg_match('|[EMAIL PROTECTED]&*();:_.\\\\ /\t-]+$|', $str) ) {
echo 'success';
} else {
echo 'failure';

Also, you've got only two backslashes in your char class. PHP is

check out magic_quote_gpc??
use the funciton "get_magic_quotes_gpc()" to determine if it is on and
run stripslashes() on the value if you find that it is on.

You don't need to escape the apostrophe if the pattern isn't quoted
with apostrophes in PHP or delimited by apostrophes in the PREG
pattern. But generally there's no harm in escaping characters
unnecessarily; it just makes for messier code.
Here is a simple test of the regexp I recommended yesterday using the pattern:
"/[EMAIL PROTECTED]&()*;:_.'\/\\\\ ]+$/"
http://juniperwebcraft.com/test/regexp_test_2007-01-23.php
If you're still having trouble getting this to work, please post a
link to a page that demonstrates it not working and give us the
complete PHP statements so we can find your error.

I need to create some webservices for our web app and am really torn as to
which route to go...SOAP, XML_RPC, etc.? I like the looks of REST but many
of our partners that will be using our services use cold fusion and I think
that has build in SOAP support.
Which protocol would you use?
Thanks!

Sorry my fault, I decided to change the filename extensions of DEPS+FILES
to *.txt before posting without noticing they became same as KEYLIST.
$(DEPS) !== $(FILES) as wanted pass '*.txt' to grep rather than every
individual filename.

Ok, tried that, still same problem. it works running make from
commandline, but not from PHP using exec, or shell_exec, or system.
It's the redirection which does not work for some reason. I'm
temporarily displaying output in PHP from make, so can see that
grep is grepping, but not redirecting to the target.
Cheers,
James.

This may be more of a mysql issue, but I am using php for my app so here
goes...
I have a fee field in the database, and when users post events they can
specify entrance fee in £. In some, not all, of the fields I am getting, for
example, £7 rather than £. Is this an encoding issue?
Many thanks in advance...

My guess is that it is. There are difference
between browsers, OS's, and thus support for
multilingual code-points. Not all allow the user
to submit those types of characters and worse
yet, some allow to them to be submitted
incorrectly.
As such, if it were me and I wanted a form for
the end user to indicate what currency s/her was
entering, I would make it a selection control of
some type and thereby control the user's input.

I'm working with my host to resolve why I am getting these error

Yep, sounds like encoding to me. This article talks more about smart quotes
than the £ sign, but the recommendation applies for that as well.
