I am trying to validate form data from server-side.
my interest is that the user just fill the form by Persian characters.
I am using this code:
$name=trim($_POST['name']);
$name= mysql_real_escape_string($name);
if (preg_match('/^[\u0600-\u06FF]+$/',str_replace("\\\\","",$name))){$err.= "Please use Persian characters!";}
but it is not working!
here is a warning:
Warning: preg_match() [function.preg-match]: Compilation failed: PCRE does not support \L, \l, \N, \U, or \u at offset 3 in C:\xampp\htdocs\site\form.php on line 38
What can I do?
This 'should' work...
** added a ^ after the opening [ to exclude arabic/farsi characters from the match...
if (preg_match('/^[^\x{600}-\x{6FF}]+$/u', str_replace("\\\\","",$name)))

پژگچ in 600 - 6FF range
fa only:
preg_match('/^[پچجحخهعغفقثصضشسیبلاتنمکگوئدذرزطظژؤإأءًٌٍَُِّ\s]+$/u', $input);
en , en-num and fa character:
preg_match('/^([a-zA-Z0-9 پچجحخهعغفقثصضشسیبلاتنمکگوئدذرزطظژؤإأءًٌٍَُِّ])+$/u', $input);
you can set fa-numbers or arabic ي ك
You should use this:
if(preg_match("/^[آ ا ب پ ت ث ج چ ح خ د ذ ر ز ژ س ش ص ض ط ظ ع غ ف ق ک گ ل م ن و ه ی]/", $_POST['name']))
this regex:
if(preg_match("/^[آ ا ب پ ت ث ج چ ح خ د ذ ر ز ژ س ش ص ض ط ظ ع غ ف ق ک گ ل م ن و ه ی]/", $_POST['name']))
included numbers and space?
