Dear All,

i am trying to validate a UK post code ie. kt1 2ls
and used the following to do so

eregi("^([[:alnum:]]{3,4})+(| )+([[:alnum:]]{3,4})$"

where(| ) corresponds to the space between 2 alphanumeric items, but this error message appears

Warning: eregi() [function.eregi]: REG_EMPTY

is there anyway to check for a space in the text entered? (only one space though)

Thanking you in advance,
Chirag

Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.  For a
list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please
visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the
appropriate forum for asking support questions. 

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

Please ask support questions in php-general mailinglist.
