I have a username textbox. It should only accept between 3 and 10 characters and it should only accept (0, 9) and (A , Z ) values or maybe (- and _), nothing more
.
And if the user inputs a value like $%^# it should give an error
I want to do this with PHP, not Jquery. Can anyone help me with this?
I know I can use
<input name="1" type="text" value="1" maxlength="10" />
But it doesn't give an error to the user and just filters the input value.
Thank you.
regular expression could work
if (preg_match("%^[A-Za-z0-9-_]{3,10}$%", $_POST["1"])) {
// OK
} else {
// ERROR
}
When the value is submitted to your PHP script, you can look at it via the $_REQUEST
global variable. In this case, you would reference $_REQUEST["1"]
. To make sure the value it contains is of a certain size, use the strlen()
function. To make sure that the value only contains certain characters, you can use preg_match_all()
and an appropriate regular expression like the following:
[A-Za-z0-9]
