Hi all,

Can anybody spot why this doesn't seem to be working right? The manual
(
http://us2.php.net/preg_match) says it returns "false" on error, but
preg_last_error() returns 0, which I assume points to the
"PREG_NO_ERROR"
error code.

<code>
preg_match("^ldap(s)?://[a-zA-Z0-9-]+\.[a-zA-Z.]{2,5}$",$this->server)

You are missing the start/end delimiters is your first problem...

I also tried ereg(), and have searched and gone through the comments.
Why
would a regex operation return false?

It would return false if your string doesn't match the expression.
