I\'ve been having some trouble with regular expressions.
This is my code
$pattern = \"^([0-9]+)$\";
if (preg_match($pattern, $input))
echo \"yes\";
else
echo \"nope\";
I run it and get:
Warning: preg_match() [function.preg-match]: No ending delimiter \'^\' found in
PHP regex strings need delimiters. Try:
$numpattern=\"/^([0-9]+)$/\";
Also, note that you have a lower case o, not a zero. In addition, if you\'re just validating, you don\'t need the capturing group, and can simplify the regex to /^\\d+$/
.

Your regex pattern needs to be in delimiters:
$numpattern=\"/^([0-9]+)$/\";
You can use T-Regx library, that doesn\'t need delimiters
pattern(\'^([0-9]+)$\')->match($input);
