Hi,

I have a problem of matching a dash(-) in the code beolow.
Why does not the below work when matching a dash(-) but all other
signs is correctly matched when trying?

$res = ereg("^[a-zA-Z\.\-\,\/\Å\å\Ä\ä\Ö\ö\Ü\ü\ß\é\æ\ø\Æ\Ø ]+$", "-");

I am running PHP Version 5.0.5 on windows.

thanks,

//Karolina

$res = ereg("^[a-zA-Z\.\,\/ÅåÄäÖöÜüßéæøÆØ -]+$", "-");

The '-' should be last if it's to compared to, anywhere else it will be used
to mark a range.
