I managed to fix it by removing an unnecessary | in some of the
regexs. Took me a while to spot but, I changed
(eregi ("^([[:alpha:]]|-|'|)+([[:alpha:]]|[[:space:]]|_|\.|-|'|.)+$"
to
(eregi ("^([[:alpha:]]|-|')+([[:alpha:]]|[[:space:]]|_|\.|-|'|.)+$"
The same regex was repeated throughout the script. It works fine now!
Thanks for your help :) .
Regards,
Nick :)
