Seth:

You should have another colon ' : ' after your alnum expression:


if(ereg("[[:alnum:]]+", $textandnumbers, $numbers)) {
     print("$numbers<BR>");
  }

I'm not sure but you also may want to lose the double quotes or maybe
escape them.

Good luck.
Russ

Subject: [PHP-DB] Finding numbers in a string


Forgot my email on that last one ;)

Hello all -

I am trying to seperate numberic characters from a string.  The book I 
was looking at described something like this:


if(ereg("[[:alnum]]+", $textandnumbers, $numbers)) {
     print("$numbers<BR>");
  }


When I run my script I receive this error:

Warning: REG_ECTYPE in ../mypage.php


Anyone have a solution / explanation to my problem

  - still reading
