View Full Version : Regular expression help

I have a regular expression set up that I thought would allow uploaded files to only contain a-z, 0-9, -, and/or a period, stripping anything else in the file name. Its set up something like this:

$file_name = eregi_replace("[^a-z0-9\-\.]", "", $file_name);

For some reason, it doesn't work. Is there something wrong with the regexp that you can see, or doesn't it work on uploaded files names?

Edited to remove a paren.

Bah! It works, it helps if I would actually upload the right file!
