[SOLVED] Validation of characters from other languages

But how do I use the PHP REGEXP and not the java - can i deactivate the browser side validation and only validate on form submit ?

There's no parameter to turn off browser side validation. Best I can suggest is to use CB Code Field and doing your REGEXP validation there as that will work for browser side validation since the browser side validation is just an HTTP request instead of doing the REGEXP directly in the browser. CB Code Field lets you use custom PHP to validate any field you like.

Ok - i have tried this code in the Code field integration:
if (preg_match("/^((\b[\p{L}]{2,40}\b)\s*){2,}$/", [value])) {
    return true;
} else {
    return false;
}

But if i enter the words: "uyt kjh" in the field and hit submit, then i get the error:


Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'kjh' (T_STRING) in /home/xxxxxx/www/components/com_comprofiler/plugin/user/plug_cbcodefield/cbcodefield.php(92) : runtime-created function on line 1

Fatal error: Function name must be a string in /home/xxxxxx/www/components/com_comprofiler/plugin/user/plug_cbcodefield/cbcodefield.php on line 93

You need to treat all substitutions as strings. So in your code change [value] to '[value]' and should work fine. You can also shorten it to just the below.

return preg_match( "/^((\b[\p{L}]{2,40}\b)\s*){2,}$/", '[value]' );

Ahhhaaa got it:
return preg_match('/^((\b[\p{L}]{2,40}\b)\s*){2,}$/u', '[value]');

One needs to add the 'u' at the end to select unicode mode for php regexp ! - Sorry for the trouble!
