PHP - Using Preg_match To Validate My Form
Hey Everyone,
Im having trouble with this code, i'm trying to use preg_match to display an error when someone inputs their email and it doesnt have a specific domain (like for example yahoo.com). My logic is to use it as a filter, if the input doesnt have the word '@yahoo.com' it will show the error. What am I doing wrong? Code: [Select] if(preg_match("/^[a-zA-Z]\w+(\.\w+)*\@\yahoo.com", $data['email']) === 0) $err .= "• $lang[ERROR_DOMAIN]<br>"; Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks. - STG Similar TutorialsIs jquery/Ajax better than real/raw PHP for form validation ?! What if JavaScript is turned off on the browser?! why after someone refreshing a page on the browser, the variables used to echo error after invalid data is being submitted will return the undefined variables error?! And how to handle form validation including an empty form field, maximum amount of value entered and so on How do I make email, name and phone required fields? thanks in advance <?php $email = $_POST['email']; $name = trim($_POST['name']); $phone = trim($_POST['phone']); $time = trim($_POST['time']); $zipcode = trim($_POST['zipcode']); $date = trim($_POST['date']); $EmailTo = "myemail@somedomain.com"; $Subject = "form"; /// Add a subject $Body = ""; $Body .= "Full name:\n$name\n\n"; $Body .= "Primary phone:\n$phone\n\n"; $Body .= "time:\n$time\n\n"; $Body .= "Zip code:\n$zipcode\n\n"; $Body .= "date:\n$date\n\n"; if($Subject == NULL) {$Subject = "From $EmailFrom";} $success = mail($EmailTo, $Subject, $Body, "From: <$EmailFrom>"); if ($success){ header ('Location: confirm.html');} else{ echo "Error! Your e-mail was not sent!";} ?> how can i validate if email is being entered correctly in a form? i have the following code Code: [Select] <?php if(isset($_POST['Submit'])){ //NEED TO CHECK IF FIELDS ARE FILLED IN if( empty($_POST['email'])){ header("Location:Messages.php?msg=12"); exit(); } if( empty($_POST['name'])){ header("Location:Messages.php?msg=3"); exit(); } if( empty($_POST['pw1']) && (empty($_POST['pw2']))){ header( "Location:Messages.php?msg=4" ); exit(); } $name=$_POST['name']; $email=$_POST['email']; $pw1=$_POST['pw1']; $pw2=$_POST['pw2']; if("$pw1" !== "$pw2" ){ header( "Location:Messages.php?msg=5" ); exit(); } $ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; //connect to the db server , check if uname exist include('config.php'); $query1=("Select * from user where email='$email'"); $result1= mysql_query($query1); $num1=mysql_num_rows($result1); if ($num1 > 0) {//Email already been used header( "Location:Messages.php?msg=11" ); exit(); }else{ $query=("Select * from user where uname='$name'"); $result= mysql_query($query); $num=mysql_num_rows($result); if ($num > 0) {//Username already exist header( "Location:Messages.php?msg=6" ); exit(); }else{ //if username does not exist insert user details $query=( "INSERT INTO user (uname, pw,email,date_joined,ip,level) VALUES ('$name','$pw1','$email',NOW(),'$ip','Normal')"); if (@mysql_query ($query)) { header("location:login.php?reg=1"); exit; } } } mysql_close(); } ?> Hello. So I already know an extremely elementary way to check to see if a form field is blank using PHP. For example: Code: [Select] if ($subject == "") The question I have is, is there a way to have php check every field in a form to make sure it has some sort of value? I want to create an 'if' statement which basically says, "If all form fields have something filled in, then do this" For example Code: [Select] if ($subject == "any value") & ($name == "any value") & ($comment == "any value") Not sure if that makes sense. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! I want to make the form so only people with a specific email address can sign up to the site. So for example their ending email address was.... @something.apple.biz.com .. but to be accepted into the site, the email HAS to end with apple.biz.com. How could you validate it so it matches something specific like this. Here is my code at the moment which just checks that their is at least one . after the @ for it to be an acceptable email. If anyone could say what else to add to do this would be great if($email != '' && $register){ $emailcheck = explode("@", $email); $sql = "SELECT email FROM member WHERE email='$email'"; $query = mysql_query($sql); $emails = mysql_num_rows($query); if($emails != 0 ){ $alert .= '<p class="alert" style="clear:both;">That email address has already been registered</p>'; $register = false; }elseif(count($emailcheck) != 2){ $alert .= '<p class="alert" style="clear:both;">Please enter a valid email address</p>'; $register = false; }elseif(count($emailcheck) == 2){ $emailchecktwo = explode(".", $emailcheck[1]); if(count($emailchecktwo) < 2){ $alert .= '<p class="alert" style="clear:both;">Please enter a valid email address</p>'; $register = false; } } } I've tried alot of different ways, google, but just can't find the correct way to do this.. I'm trying to search for a word in an inputted string.. here's the code <html> <head><title>TESTING</title></head> <body> <form method="GET" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>"/> email: <input type=text name=email value="" /><br/> feedback: <input type=text name=ex value=""/><br/> <input type="submit" value="submit" /><br/> </body> </html> <?php $email = $_GET['email']; $ex = $_GET['ex']; $pattern = '/^[a-zA-Z0-9\-\.]+@[a-zA-Z0-9\-]+\.[a-zA-Z]+$/'; //$pattern1 = '/nprezident/prezident/'; if(!preg_match($pattern, $email)){ echo 'invalid email address<br/>'; } else { echo 'good to go<br/>'; } if(preg_match('/nprezident/,/prezident/', $ex)){ echo 'just something about that sentence is nice'; } else { echo 'no good'; } ?> Ok the one I'm having a problem with is the second preg_match when trying to search for two words i can get one word to print but when i use add a second word it gives an error. How do i add a second word? How to a check if a php variable value is one of the following characters: A to J, or ,k to t, (ie.: A B C D E F G H I J k l m n o p q r s t)
I tried:
if (preg_match[A-Jk-t], $checkChar) { // do this } I know $regex_pattern is wrong but I need a solution to find a content between <body> and </body>. Code: [Select] <?php $content = "<html><head><title>Your IP</title></head><body>Your IP Address: 63.1.142.154</body></html>"; $regex_pattern = "/<body>(.*)<\/body>/"; $preg_match($regex_pattern,htmlspecialchars($content),$matches); print_r( $matches ); ?> Why dosent this work, im trying to match upper case, lower case and numbers only Code: [Select] $id = '3xDJ7@#'; if (!preg_match('/^[a-zA-Z0-9]/', $id)){ echo "ERROR!"; }else{ echo 'ok'; } This always echos "ok" im trying to make a script so i can get users details like longitude, latitude etc

Hi,
I have a "scraped" string and want to use the preg_match() to give me just a pice of it.
The string is from a webpage, but is dynamic....
here´s the typical string format:
<a class="stripped-link lightblue-link profile-page-link" href="/x/xxx+xxx+xxx/xxxx">HER IS THE WANTED TEXT</a>
The orange is static. The green (the xxxx is the dynamic part of the string)
Can I use the preg_match() for this?
thanks (and yes I´m a newbe.... )
