Re: [PHP] Can't escape characters in php??
You're simply missing quotation marks, as far as I can see:
if (ereg('[^0-9]', 2002-11-14))
print That's not a number!;

Hello,
I'm running Apache/1.3.26 and PHP 4.0.5 on WinXP pro.
The following code is taken from the book mastering PHP 4.1 and is supposed
to work:
if (ereg([^0-9], 2002-11-14))
print That's not a number!;
It won't work for me. I get a parse error expecting a ')'.
I have also tried other regular expressions, but almost all of them fails.
One that works: if (ereg(-..-.., 2002-11-14))
Also '\n' in an echo-expression won't work. It is ignored.
code:
echo HELLO \n;
echo WORLD;
result:
HELLO WORLD
What can be wrong? Do I miss a library or something??
Thanks,
Lars

Oh, WRT the \n: it works--but you're probably outputting to a browser, which ignores the newline and only interprets HTML code.

Is this the only code on the page? Try quoting your expression, and
bracketing your if check i.e.
if ( ereg ( [^0-9], 2002-11-14 ) ) {
print That's not a number!;
}

What did you expect this to do? Most, if not all browsers don't start a
new line when they encounter a new line or carrige return unless it's
encased by pre/pre tags. Try this...
echo HELLObr\n;
echo WORLD;
What can be wrong? Do I miss a library or something??
