  4. Character Classes • [A-Z] uppercase letter • [a-z] lowercase letter • [0-9] digit • {5} exactly five • {3,} three or more • {1,4} one to four

  5. Metacharacters • ^ beginning of string • $ end of string

  6. Regular Expression • Username – 5 to 10 lowercase letters? $pattern = '/^[a-z]{5,10}$/'; if (!preg_match($pattern, $username)) { echo "<p>$username is invalid.</p>"; }

  7. Regular Expressions • Social Security Number 123-45-6789 $pattern = '/^[0-9]{3}-[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{4}$/'; if (!preg_match($pattern, $ssn)) { echo "<p>$ssn is invalid.</p>"; }

  9. Regular Expressions • Social Security Number 123-45-6789 $pattern = '/^\d{3}-\d{2}-\d{4}$/'; if (!preg_match($pattern, $ssn)) { echo "<p>$ssn is invalid.</p>"; }

  10. Metacharacters • [0-9]* * = zero or more • [A-Z]+ + = one or more • . . = match any character • ([A-Z]\. )? ? = either zero or one

  11. Regular Expressions • Last name: Frank $pattern = '/^[A-Z][a-z]+$/'; if (!preg_match($pattern, $last)) { echo "<p>$last is invalid.</p>"; }

  12. Regular Expressions • Name: Charles Frank or Charles E. Frank $pattern = '/^[A-Z][a-z]+ ([A-Z]\. )?[A-Z][a-z]+ $/'; if (!preg_match($pattern, $name)) { echo "<p>$name is invalid.</p>"; }

  13. Zip Code • Page 444 • /^(\d{5}(-\d{4})?$/
