Hi,
I want to have the regular expression that makes sure the beginning of the string contains 'http://' and '/' and the end.
This is a longer version I came up with,
if(!preg_match("/(^http:\/\//", $site_http))
{
$error = true;
echo '<error elementid="site_http" message="site_http - Your link appears to be invalid. Please confirm that your link contains http:// at the start."/>';
}
elseif (!preg_match("/\/$/", $site_http))
{
$error = true;
echo '<error elementid="site_http" message="site_http - Your link appears to be invalid. Please confirm that your link has ended with a /."/>';
}
but I thought these two expressions can put together like below, but it wont work,
if(!preg_match("/(^http:\/\/)&(\/$)/", $site_http))
{
$error = true;
echo '<error elementid="site_http" message="site_http - Your link appears to be invalid. Please confirm that your link contains http:// at the start and a / at the end."/>';
}
the multiple expressions that I try to combine must be wrong! any idea?
thanks, Lau
