Conditions: Can we use PHP predefined regex?

[railer]

Hi Russell,

The formmail.php comments indicate perl expressions be used for setting condition patterns. I was wondering if we can also use PHP regex, especially predefined regex classes in conditions?

Thanks,

railer

Hi,

PHP supports Perl regular expressions as well as "PHP" regex. But the Perl regex are faster and much more flexible and powerful.

FormMail only calls the Perl regex functions, so you must use them.

Here's the best place to start for doco: http://au.php.net/pcre

Thanks for the clarification. Here's a link to a related thread in this forum about Samples of Regular Expressions for use in Conditions.
