This is a RTFM situation!!!
instead of just $form["autopstcode"] - use str_replace("
","",$form["autopstcode"])
(e.g. strip the spaces before validating the triplets)
found in 30 seconds by typing "string" on PHP site.

Subject: [PHP] Validating postal codes
Hi,
I'm trying to validate a Canadian postal code. I've already written a
function; code as follows:
if(!eregi('(^[a-z][0-9][a-z][0-9][a-z][0-9]$)',$form["authpstcode"])) {
$errors[] = 'You must input a valid Canadian postal code (A9A9A9) postal
code if he/she resides in Canada';
$continue = false;
}
The above works OK if the user enters --> M2M6N6
But fails if the user enters ---> M2M 6N6 (note the space between the two
triplets)
I want my function to validate either, i.e., allow a space between the two
triplets but not enforce it.
Any idea on how to modify my test?
Thanks,
Don
