Re: RegEx: Dash Problem

2009-03-09 Thread KS 

Thanks for your suggestion!

It turns out I was using the clean function of CakePHP's Sanitize
class.  It was doing something to my dashes :)
One I moved that function AFTER my validation, everything worked
great!

  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?

  Thank you!
