Description: ------------ For the lettersonly, alphanumeric and nopunctuation rules, I suggest to use the PHP strspn() and strcspn() function instead of heavy weight regexp. By the way, is it intentional that not all punctuation characters are in the list of forbidden characters? Missing from the list are: ` & - ; Reproduce code: --------------- In HTML_QuickForm_Rule_Regexp <?php function validate($value, $regex = null) { switch ($this->name) { case 'lettersonly': case 'alphanumeric': case 'nopunctuation': switch ($this->name) { case 'lettersonly': $str = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'; $function = 'strspn'; break; case 'alphanumeric': $str = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789'; $function = 'strspn'; break; case 'nopunctuation': $str = '().`;\\|/*^?#!@$&%+=-,"\'><~[]{}'; $function = 'strcspn'; break; } return (strlen($value) != $function(strtolower($value, $str))) ? false : true; break; } if (isset($this->_data[$this->name])) { if (!preg_match($this->_data[$this->name], $value)) { return false; } } else { if (!preg_match($regex, $value)) { return false; } } return true; } // end func validate ?>

Moving feature requests to HTML_QuickForm2.

We no longer have a list of built-in regexps in QF2. Also usage of these functions is not easily translated into Javascript.
