Hi there, This might not be a cakePHP issue, but here goes...
I use CakePHP + WAMP on Windows. My problem is that whenever there is a dash in a pattern and an input string has a dash, no match occurs. As a result, validation fails (like the built in e-mail and phone number validations). I have tried using a custom validation method with the following code: function valid_phone($data) { $pattern = "^[0-9]{3}-[0-9]{4}$"; $phone_no = trim($data['phone']); if (ereg($pattern, $phone_no)) return 1; else return 0; } If I remove the dash from the pattern and input 7 digits, everything works fine. If I add the dash and input something like "123-45657", validation fails. This is not the only pattern I've tried, all with the same results. Any ideas?
