Hi,  

I have an input string that should only be lower or upper alphas, numbers and 
can contain a hyphen.  

I'm trying to figure out how to get PHP preg_match to verify the input string 
only contains these chars.

I tried some thing like this and it always returns true if I have one or more 
of the specified chars, even if I have a char that is not specified.

I need a true for any string that contains Alphas and/or numbers and/or one or 
more hyphens.  I need it to return if the string contains anything else.

preg_match("/[a-z0-9\+\-]/", $vaidateStr) 

I do not need to use preg_match, I'm looking for a simple solution.

Any pointers are much appreciated.
