Re: PHP preg_match question
Another way would be
if ($vaidateStr == preg_replace("/[^a-z0-9\-]/i", "", $vaidateStr)) {
/true, or valid...
}
the "i" after the last / makes it case insensitive. So it should match
upper and lower alpha characters.
Ah yes, I also forgot the uppercase chars
if ($vaidateStr == preg_replace("/[^a-zA-Z0-9\-]/", "", $vaidateStr)) {
/true, or valid...
}
BTW also as Eric says, the carrot (^) inside the square brackets means
"anything but" (negation), thus how this works..

You can use * if you don't need the lower limit of 1.
$ requires the patten match all the way to the end of the string.
The dash requires escaping, hence the back slash.

Hi,

I tried some thing like this and it always returns true if I
have one or more of the specified chars, even if I have a char
that is not specified.
I need a true for any string that contains Alphas and/or numbers

preg_match("/[a-z0-9\+\-]/", $vaidateStr)
I do not need to use preg_match, I'm looking for a simple solution.
Any pointers are much appreciated.

Re: PHP preg_match question
Possibly:
$vaidateStr = "this is a test 1"; // not valid, contains spaces..
$compared = preg_replace("/[^a-z0-9\+\-]/", "", $vaidateStr);
$is_validated = $vaidateStr == $compared;
if ($is_validated) {
echo "valid\n";
}
else {
echo "not valid\n";
}
//
//OR just use (fewer lines, harder to read, etc)
//
if ($vaidateStr == preg_replace("/[^a-z0-9\+\-]/", "", $vaidateStr)) {
echo "valid\n";
}
else {

PHP preg_match question
Hi,
I have an input string that should only be lower or upper alphas, numbers and
can contain a hyphen.
I'm trying to figure out how to get PHP preg_match to verify the input string
only contains these chars.
I tried some thing like this and it always returns true if I have one or more
of the specified chars, even if I have a char that is not specified.
I need a true for any string that contains Alphas and/or numbers and/or one or
more hyphens. I need it to return if the string contains anything else.
preg_match("/[a-z0-9\+\-]/", $vaidateStr)
I do not need to use preg_match, I'm looking for a simple solution.
Any pointers are much appreciated.

Re: Need Help Cloning a Drive
I feared this might be the case; clonezilla just isn't quite ready for the new sector sizes. The best suggestion I can make from here is to create a partition table by hand on the destination drive that has the partition sizes and layout you want, then transfer the data one partition at a time. You'll probably have to install GRUB in the MBR on the new drive to make it bootable. Someone else here probably knows how to do this better than I do, but here's my take: 1) transfer all the data 2) remove the old drive and put the new drive in place 3) boot from a live "rescue" type CD (the latest system rescue CD works well here) 4) mount the new drive root partition and chroot to it's mount point. 5) check and adjust /etc/fstab to mount all of the other partitions in the correct places. Make sure you use UUID's for this, as System Rescue CD creates odd device names sometimes. 6) mount everything like you would when running (this may not be required, but it's just for completeness) 7) check everything looks like you expect. 8) verify /boot is correct and has the correct kernel(s) 9) check your grub configuration in /etc 10) run the grub installer and grub configuration to install GRUB on the MBR of the new drive, and setup the GRUB menu/configuration/modules to boot properly. 11) exit the chroot, shutdown the system, pull out the rescue CD, and reboot. *) You should now have a bootable clone drive, if everything worked. Note: If you have Windows in dual boot on the old drive it almost certainly won't be bootable on the new drive and will need to be reinstalled.
