Hi,

Please can someone help regarding providing a regular expression for entering
a set of characters with letters, numbers, periods (.), hyphens (-), or
underscores (_) only.

I've got as far as this:

$pattern="^([_a-z0-9-]+)(\.[_a-z0-9-])$";

Thank you in advance.

Kind regards,

Raj (newbie)

$patterns = "/[^a-z0-9.-_]/i";
if (preg_match ($patterns, $word))
echo "not allowed";
else
echo "allowed";

I think you better use preg because faster than ereg. I heard that
ereg will be deprecated.
