if ( ereg("[^0-9a-zA-Z\_\-]", $user_input) ) { //invalid char detected } else { //input contain only allowed char } just add all your valid char in the pattern, and dont forget to escape the char which has special meaning in regex. -- Jimmy ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Money is what you make it - a servant or a master -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
