The code I just showed you is supposed to do the following, the
chk_mac() returns a true or false on the vars $mac1, $mac2 and $mac3.
$mac3 is the only var that should not be thrown into the fix_mac()
function which is working correctly. The problem is when $mac1 and
$mac2 get put into the fix_mac() function nothing is being returned.
I am not recieving any error codes, just an empty var.
Sample output:
00aa11bb22cc converted to
00-aa-11-bb-22-cc converted to
00:aa:11:bb:22:cc is valid.
As you can see $mac3 is a valid example of a h/w address where $mac1 &
$mac2 were returned from the fix_mac() function as an empty string.

Um I did actually, but I will re-interate the problem with more detail.
the vars $mac1, $mac2, & $mac3 are to get passed to the chk_mac()
function which determines if it is a valid hex representation of a h/w
address, if it does not meet the criteria of having a ":" separating
every two characters it then passes the var to the fix_mac() function
which attempts to fix the string or h/w address by either replacing any
"-" with a ":" or to break the h/w address up and insert a ":" every two
characters. I also believe this is the one you should be playing with
as the last post I added a new regex which wasn't working.
OK, you've told us what your code does. Now can you explain what the
problem is? "A new regex which wasn't working" is a bit vague.
* Does it throw an error?
- If so, can we have the error message?
* Does it mark invalid strings as valid?
- Or vice versa?
Just posting a pile of code with an explanation of what it does and
leaving the rest of us to figure out what the problem is, is not helping
us to help you.
