Hi there

I need a custom regularexpression validation for username validation.

the validation is the same like a email adress validation except the requiremnt of a "@" -symbol and a toplevel check.

i need a regexp validation which checks whitespaces special charecters etc.

Can somebody help?

thanks!

Hello

I’m using this one


array('username', 'match', 'pattern' => '/^[A-Za-z0-9_]+$/u'),

It allows only alphanumeric characters in addition to underscore

You can aslo supply error message, like this;




<?php

array('path', 'match' ,'pattern'=>'/^[a-z0-9_-]+\.[a-z]+$/i', 'message'=>'Field can contain only alphanumeric characters and hyphens(-).')

?>
