^ is not in this case
Try
if(!ereg("^([a-zA-ZåÅäÄöÖ]{4,20})\$", $_REQUEST['f_name'])) {Added the $ at the end else the could be more then 20 chars Greetz At 17:20 18-12-02 +0100, Anders Thoresson wrote:
What's wrong with the following regular expression? As far as I can se, only alphabetic characters including the special swedish ones, should be let through, but whatever character passed on in $_REQUEST['f_name'] passes the test?
if(!ereg("(^[a-zA-ZåÅäÄöÖ]{4,20})", $_REQUEST['f_name'])) {
error("Your first name should be between 4 and 20 alphabetic characters");
}
The next one, used to check valid birthday dates, work. And I can't see where they differ!
if(!ereg("([0-9]{4})-([0-9]{2})-([0-9]{2})", $_REQUEST['birthday']))
