  I tried that, but it didn't work.

  if (ctype_alnum($var)) {
   echo ok;
   }else {
   echo no;
   }

  I got an 'undefined function' error.
  php4.0.4pl1


  Did I miss something ?

  you could also use this:
 
  function is_alphanum($data) {
return preg_match('/^\w+$/', $data);
  }

 Watch out though... IIRC \w also includes underscore...

yes, you have to enable it:

--enable-ctype

...and, ctype is available only starting from PHP v.4.0.4+,
...and it is only the experimental family of functions... (this you read on
the site, right?)

[PHP] is_alpha_numeric ?

2001-07-06 Thread John Monfort 


 Hello everyone,

 I'm trying to determine if an argument is alphanumeric. Is there a
function to do this?

 I thought PHP had a IS_ALPHA_NUMERIC function, but I can't seem to find
 it anywhere. Was it wishful thinking ? Please help.

 If you do know of this function, then please send me the syntax.
  is_alpha_numeric($string) is not working.

 If you do know of another way to this, then please send me that as well.
 My expected string has the form 'A200A'. Both, letters and numbers, will
 change depending on the item. The value will ve passed via a hidden form.

 Thanks in advance.

 -John

There may be in the CVS version (would have to check), but there's not in
4.0.6.  eregi( [[:alnum:]]{1,}, $string ) may do the trick.
