darn Regex
« on: March 24, 2010, 04:30:06 PM »
Hi All

I have a form with 2 inputs,

I want to echo three outputs in the form of a link. From one of the outputs i want to create the third ($arb)  by identifying the first character.

The numbers going into the form are either bxxxxxxx or cxxxxxxx where x is an integer.

I have some if code below but it always outputs b9 and not c0. I can't see why as the regex code looks ok.

any idea?

Ian

<?php
if(preg_match("/^[bB][a-zA-Z0-9]{7}$/",$num)) {
	
global 
$arb;
	
$arb "b9";
	

	
} else {
	
global 
$arb;
	

	
$arb "c0";
}
?>
