Use single quotes around your pattern.
if(ereg('^[0-9]{7,9}$',...
With the double quotes, PHP is probably seeing the $ and looking for a
variable, even though it's at the end of the string.

Subject: [PHP] ICQ # validation
Maybe I'm off my rocker, but I don't see how this can't work. I'm trying to
validate an ICQ number, and assuming a valid one is between 7 and 9 numbers.
My line of code is this:
if(ereg("^[0-9]{7,9}$", $_REQUEST["icqnumber"])) {
print("a-okay!");
} else {
print("error msg");
}
I've submitted the ICQ # 2264532680, but it validates. Any ideas?
