[PHP] need help on ereg statement

Hi there, I am trying to validate a password. Only characters in the alphabet and numbers should be allowed. Somehow my statement does not work at all :-( if (ereg("^[A-Za-z0-9]",$new_passw)) echo 'invalid'; Can anybody help on that? Thanx in advance, Andy -- PHP General Mailing List
