Hey all,
Anyone know how to make it so that... the script uses regular expression to make sure the string only allows letters, numbers and hypens, nothign else.

Anyone know how to do that?
Thanks.

You've seen regular expressions in Ruby, so do your best not to be sick over how you have to interact with them in PHP. Smile
