for starters, that doesn't give me a warning at all. also, all those escapes arn't needed: $reg = '/^[a-zA-Z0-9()]{1}[ a-zA-Z0-9()_,.\'"-]{1,999}$/'; The ' is only escaped for php, not the expression. And moving the - to the end or beginning, you don't need to escape it. Curt -- First, let me assure you that this is not one of those shady pyramid schemes you've been hearing about. No, sir.
