Although I am all pro-serverside coding, I'd rather implement these  
simple input type checks on the client side, using Javascript. Much more  
user-friendly than filling out forms and after each submit be told it's  
wrong. 
 
Besides, ereg is slow, compared to strlen, as Kimmo already explained  
how to use.
