I want to check weather or not a string contains (alpha numeric characters and "-") only without spaces and other stuff...
*but it must contain atleast one alpha numeric character and a maximum of two "-"
example:
value could be "-asd-"or "ads-" or "asd7" or "ads or "a-7ds"
I am currently using (for alpha numeric characters only):
if (preg_match('/^[A-Za-z0-9]+$/', $value)) {
return true;
}
Thanks
*Sorry for the amatuer way i post my question, but i just wanted to be clear
help would be appreciated
