Hey guys... Been a while again...

I'm having a problem using the preg_match function in PHP 4. Basically, I'm checking to see if any of the following characters appear in whatever the user enters:

.*$?"/|\:<>

And then using an if statement to do whatever I want...

What exactly would be my if statement with the above characters and preg_match?

I'm thinking of something along the lines of:

PHP Code:


			
if( preg_match(/^($)/, $url2) ) {

// stuff here...

}

Not sure how to include those characters in the function...

Thanks.
