Strong Password Validation Function
« on: February 02, 2010, 10:26:24 AM »
Does anyone has a strong password validation function that I can use.

The code below will validate 1 uppercase 1 lowercase 1 digit.
I also want it to validate 1 symbol.
How can that be done?
I am not good with regular expressions.  :confused:


// Password must be strong
if(preg_match("/^.*(?=.{8,})(?=.*[0-9])(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[A-Z]).*$/"$_POST["pass"]) === 0)
$errPass '<p class="errText">Password must be at least 8 characters and must contain at least one lower case letter, one upper case letter and one digit</p>';
