Subject: [nycphp-talk] Regular Expressions & Foreign Characters


If I understand correctly, a regular expression like this: ^[a-z0-9\',.
-]{1,35}$/I will not allow foreign characters, e.g., Ë, because it is
not part of the regular ASCII set of characters but part of the extended
set. So...what's a kid to do?
