try this
ereg("^[a-zA-Z0-9:]*$",$string)
all your's is doing is looking for any char in $string that's a-z or A-Z or
0-9 or :
instead of all chars, from start to end, being them

Subject: [PHP] Simple regexp
Hi,
I'm trying to do a simple regexp to validate if a whole string only contains
the numbers 0 to 9, Letters a - f and A - F and the character :
Why isn't ereg("[a-zA-Z0-9:]",$string) working?
Guidance appreciated.
