Hi
I want to see that a user is submiting a form field in the correct manner.
So I decided to use preg_match to verify their input.
The pattern I am trying to match is;
Firstname Secondname
I am not bothered about character length just yet (but advise on this would
be appreciated if it can be done with a regular expression - saves extra
checking code), but I would like case sensitity.
The code I haev so far, which doesn't seem to work is;
$un = $_REQUEST['name'];
$exp = '/^\b[a-zA-Z] [a-zA-Z]$/';
if (preg_match($exp, $un)) {
//has this matched?
echo "<h2>matched</h2>";
}
Help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
Steve
