[PHP] Ereg sass
I'm not sure why, but I can't include a period in my eregi statement: [A-Za-z0-9_-.]* For this, I get Warning: ereg() [function.ereg]: REG_ERANGE in /home/website/public_html/Functions.inc on line 27 The same goes for [A-Za-z0-9_-\.]* Anyone know why?

Re: [PHP] Ereg sass
It's seeing the - as a range identifier, escape it to get the literal hyphen. How about this: [a-zA-Z0-9_\-.]* In my tests, the period didn't need to be escaped with the \.

Thus it will match a period, but also a #, a @, and everything that's not allowed in the planned regex. By escaping the period you're changing the meaning from any character to or a period (in this context) so I believe that's what you want to do. -- O Ernest E.

Re: [PHP] Ereg sass
If you want to look for a dash (-), you always place it last in the brackets, other wise the regex machine will be looking for a range. So just move the - to the last character.
