Regular Expressions
Posted: Wed Sep 02, 2009 4:48 am
Hi
I was wondring if anyone could direct me to some good documentation on Regular Expressions.
(I've tried the PHP manual but I want something more extensive)
I'm currently using ereg but am looking at changing to preg_match as ereg is depricated in 5.3.0
I'm simply trying to check a date matches the correct format using ereg and the expression.
([0-9]{2})/([0-9]{2})/([0-9]{4})
the date should be dd/mm/yyyy however but ereg is accepting dates like 0606/01/07070707 (which is oviously a bogus date i'd like to detect).
Thanks
