You can replace {0,1} with a question mark and [0-9] with \d (digit).
Also, and I
think this is not in the PHP documentation, you can use POSIX character
classes
inside the brackets. If you want to match alphabetical characters including
the Swedish and various other international ones like æ or ü, you can
use [:alpha:].
You may not need it in this example, but it's excellent for
internationalized regex matching.
if (preg_match('/^([[:alpha:]]{2,3})(\d{4,5}(\-\d{1,2})?)$/i',

Hi!
Anyone who could help me with this regexp problem?
I want to verify that a string is made up of 2-3 letters, (a-z + åäö,
A-Z + ÅÖÄ), directly followed by 4 or 5 digits, which could, but may
not, be followed by a minus and one or two digits.
Examples of valid strings:
abc12345
ABC12345
abc1234
ABC12345-1
ABC12345-01
I would also like to split them into an array consisting of 2 elements;
[0] = the first 2 or 3 letters
[1] = the rest
Example:
string = ab12345
[0] = ab
[1] = 12345
string = åäö1234-66
[0] = åäö
[1] = 1234-66
Lots of thanks in advance,
sincerely
Victor

Re: [PHP] Using PHP with Style Sheets
Freedomware wrote: Sorry but you haven't really stumbled onto a pot of gold here or anything. Hmmm... it sounds like using PHP with style sheets isn't a recommended practice. I wouldn't do it unless I had a good reason to do it. The reason that's cited on the page you referred to is to have different code in Netscape 4 and real browsers. So if you have a real need to make pages pages to look gorgeous in Netscape 4, you might consider it. Or if you want to do pathologically ;-) advanced and flexible things with styles. Plain CSS is flexible enough for me most of the time, but it's a good idea to learn it properly.

Re: [PHP] Syntax Error - This is WEIRD!

if a script calls antohter like 'include('http://site.com/index.php');
Why would I get a syntax error on line 1 of index.php when it looks like
this:
?php
// line one above this one
What's the deal there?
Many thanks for any insight ;-)
I've never tried to do an include via HTTP, so maybe I'm clueless, but
it occurs to me that it might be a good idea to try doing a plain old
file include, using exactly the same file. I have the feeling it would
be interesting to know whether that would work or not.

Re: [PHP] Syntax Error - This is WEIRD!
Donald Tyler wrote: Yes that is true. But I would strongly recommend against doing that. You should never include anything over HTTP. Its extremely messy, 100% insecure and just a very very bad idea. My spontaneous reaction is to agree with you. On the other hand, are SOAP or XML-RPC over HTTP any more secure in principle? You would need some kind of authentication, of course, unless you just love exposing your code. It's a weird concept, but I was trying to give the guy who started the thread the benefit of the doubt. Maybe he has a good reason for doing it. Maybe the people who implemented this feature in PHP had a good reason for implementing it. You should have all the files you need to include located on your web server. Yes, I don't know why you would want to keep them on a remote server. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] SOLVED= is ' or different in MS-Word then ascII?
Roger Spears wrote: Hello Everybody, I have found a solution and/or the root of the problem. I googled on the topic of MS-Word + smart quotes. That lead me to this site: http://www.rpgtimes.net/rpgtimes/guide.php?guide=1 It seems that the default for Word is to have smart quotes to on. When you have smart quotes on it replaces the ordinary straight quotes with a left specific and right specific quote. To correct this: Go into TOOLSAUTO-CORRECTAUTO-FORMATremove checkmark from replace straight quotes with smart quotes. Also in TOOLSAUTO-CORRECT you must remove the line in AUTO-REPLACE about replacing ... with three dots that are closer together. Once I did that, my problem was solved Thanks to all who have helped today. I appreaciate it!! I'm happy for you :-), but didn't you say you were taking input from visitors? Can you force them to turn smart quotes off? To me it looks like you're pointing out a general problem that anyone might run into: visitors may copy characters into a Web form that are not entirely safe to display in an HTML page. That would be anything except plain ASCII. That would include smart quotes and a lot of accented letters that don't normally occur in English. I haven't thought this through before, but I think the safest thing to do would be to replace thos characters with their HTML entity equivalents at some point before you display them. For the smart quotes, the entities would be lsquo; rsqou; ldquo; and rdquo; Of course, you could replace them with dumb quotes instead, but the smart quotes look better. That's why MS word and other word processors do what they do. BEFORE I changed these two Word settings, when writing to the database, the ord() (ordinate) value for the left quote was 147 and the right quote was 148. When being retrieved from the database, the ord() (ordinate) value for the left quote was 17 and the right quote was 19. Thanks again to everyone who offered help!

Re: [PHP][PEAR] PEAR::DB_Common::nextId()
Alessandro Vitale wrote:
I would like to get the last insert id... anyone has some experience in
using the PEAR::DB_Common::nextId() ?
Yes. You have a PEAR DB object $db, and you do:
$id = $db-nextID('Documents');
$db-query(INSERT INTO Documents (id,title,text) VALUES
($id,'Title','Text'));
The confusing thing about this is the fact that Documents in the two
lines don't necessarily have anything to do
with each other. The first is the name of a sequence, the other is the
name of a table. They're just both called
'Documents'. What happens, and I believe this isn't described in the
documentation, is that PEAR DB stores
the current ID of the Documents sequence in a separate table called
Documents_seq:
mysql select * from Documents_seq;
+-+
| id |
+-+
| 200 |
+-+
So it's a completely different mechanism than using mysql_insert_id().
In fact, it might be a better idea to have just one sequence and
generate IDs for all tables from that:
$id = $db-nextID('Sequence');
$db-query(INSERT INTO Documents (id,title,text) VALUES
($id,'Title','Text'));
$id = $db-nextID('Sequence');
$db-query(INSERT INTO Users (id,username...) VALUES ($id,$username...));
any suggestion would be very much appreciated.

According to the table at: http://www.bbsinc.com/iso8859.html the start quote character in the Windows Latin-1 character set is hex 93 = hex 80 + 13 = decimal 128 + 19. So it seems the 8-bit character has lost its highest bit and become a 7-bit character. Strange indeed Stranger things have happened...
