[Phplib-users] OOHForms and RegEx

[Andres B. Z. <aba...@ei...>]

Hello all!
I have been using the PHPLib's OOHForm class with success in a linux redhat
7.2 (apache, mysql & php4) intranet web server. But the same scripts fail
when hosted in the internet. The problem is with the regex support... Most
of the "valid_regex" values do not work. For example: If I try the following
piece of code it works.

$f->add_element(array("type"=>"text",
			    "name"=>"username",
			    "minlength"=>4,
			    "maxlength"=>12,
			    "length_e"=>"Invalid Username. [ 4 to 12 chars long ]",
			    "valid_regex"=>"^[a-z]*$",
			    "valid_e"=>"Invalid Username.",
			    "value"=>"$username"));

But if I change
	"valid_regex"=>"^[a-z]*$"
for
	"valid_regex"=>"^[a-Z]*$"

I have the answer:

Warning: REG_ERANGE in ..../class/oohforms.inc on line 476
Invalid Username.

Next is the piece of code at line 476 in oohforms.inc

  function self_validate($val) {
    if (!is_array($val)) $val = array($val);
    reset($val);
    while (list($k,$v) = each($val)) {
      if ($this->length_e && (strlen($v) < $this->minlength))
        return $this->length_e;
      if ($this->valid_e && (($this->icase &&
            !eregi($this->valid_regex,$v)) ||
           (!$this->icase &&
            !ereg($this->valid_regex,$v))))      // line 476
		return $this->valid_e;
    }
    return false;
  }

Any help will be very welcome

I am not a native english speaker so excuse my poor english language
proficiency.

Thanks
