I'm going through my code to replace any instances I'm using the ereg() function - which I was using for matching regex inside a string.
I could use a little direction, if someone has a better method than what I'm using.
Here's my old "currency validation" script:
function valid_currency($number){
if(ereg('^[0-9]+\.[0-9]{2}$', $number))
return true;
else
return false;
}
if(valid_currency(25.30)){
echo "valid currency";
}else{
echo "invalid currency string";
}
I replaced the ereg() with preg_match().
I'm getting this error now:
Warning: preg_match() [function.preg-match]: No ending delimiter '^'
I'm guessing the regular expression syntax isn't being recognized. From here I'm a little stuck.
