[PHP] Problem with regex

[Oliver Ertl]

Hi,

I need a regex for a username validation. The ereg
function should be used.

o the username must start and end with a-z
o in the middle it could be a-z0-9\.-_
o and never something like this -- -. _- and so on

Thanks for your help

  Oliver

Hi,

The following works. But I wouldn't allow users to use
something like -. --- _- in $TestPwd. How can I
implement this ?
