Try
if(!ereg("^([a-zA-ZåÅäÄöÖ]{4,20})\$", $_REQUEST['f_name'])) {

What's wrong with the following regular expression? As far as I can se,
only alphabetic characters including the special swedish ones, should be
let through, but whatever character passed on in $_REQUEST['f_name']
passes the test?
if(!ereg("(^[a-zA-ZåÅäÄöÖ]{4,20})", $_REQUEST['f_name'])) {
error("Your first name should be between 4 and 20
alphabetic characters");
}
The next one, used to check valid birthday dates, work. And I can't see
where they differ!
if(!ereg("([0-9]{4})-([0-9]{2})-([0-9]{2})", $_REQUEST['birthday']))
