In a PCRE regex, [\x80-\xFF] will find all extended ASCII chars. Or, if you wanted all ASCII chars, you could use: [\x00-\xFF] That would catch space and punctuation as well though. Or you could amend it to suit.

Re: [PHP] RegEx to check for non-Latin characters
Hi Behzad,
I would try a different approach ...
EXAMPLE (UTF-8):
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";>
http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>
Persia
';
}
function mbStringToArray ($string, $encoding) {
$strlen = mb_strlen($string);
while ($strlen) {
$array[] = mb_substr($string,0,1,$encoding);
$string = mb_substr($string,1,$strlen,$encoding);
$strlen = mb_strlen($string);
}
return $array;
}
?>
As you can see I'm using the multibyte string functions [1] and split
$username into a character by character array.
Then I use strlen() for which an UTF-8 char has a length > 1. Note:
This might change with PHP6.
It also does not check for Persian characters only yet. You would have
to try something like this ...
EXAMPLE (UTF-8):
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";>
http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>
Persia
';
if (mb_strpos($chars, $char, 0, $encoding) !== false) echo $char.' is
a Persian character';
}
function mbStringToArray ($string, $encoding) {
$strlen = mb_strlen($string);
while ($strlen) {
$array[] = mb_substr($string,0,1,$encoding);
$string = mb_substr($string,1,$strlen,$encoding);
$strlen = mb_strlen($string);
}
return $array;
}
?>

[PHP] user access/roles/privs functionality
Hi list... I need a way of managing users/teams/etc.. implementing roles/access rights/privs,etc... I'd like a way of being able to have users "report to" the resource above them, ie, the ability to have a hierarchical kind of tree approach would be good as wel, as this would allow different user/mgr/teams to be moved up/down in the tree as required. If I can find the right process, I'll implement it in my targeted app. I'd prefer something that's fairly well compartmentalized.. but if need be, I'm willing to rip the right system out of it's parent app if I can find one that's good!!! I've reviewed the systems in the vtiger/knowledgetree apps. thoughts/comments/pointers would be useful! thanks! -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] RegEx to check for non-Latin characters
Thanks everyone. I guess I find the answer:
*// return true if the $str ONLY consists of Arabic characters and
space-character
public function isArabicString($str)
{
return preg_match('/^([\p{Arabic}]|\s)*$/u', $str);
}
*
PHP 5.1.x or higher is required.

[PHP] Another question about Google maps
Hi gang: I posted this question on the Google Map Discussion group/list thingie, but got zip in replies. Maybe someone here might have an idea. Here's the url: http://masoncollision.com/contact.php In both Safari and FireFox for the Mac (I have not tested it with other browsers) as the page loads the map border is momentary drawn twice. The map border is shown stacked one above the other making the page much longer than it actually is. But immediately thereafter, the map is drawn correctly and the page returns to the size it's supposed to be. I just want to get rid of the momentary flash. Anyone have any ideas?

Have you tried incrementing the year value by one when you define
$next_[holiday]
