PO Box Ban [support thread]

[dw08gm]

Hi Steven300

Thanks for a great mod.

Could you please explain the use of "/", "\" and "si" in your code, so that others might add their own additions without bothering you.

I am thinking of adding the following

GPO Box (is this already covered by your code?)
Private Box
Private Bag
Locked Bag

Best Regards

Sure.

Well this is the most basic example of preg_match:

if (preg_match("/choice/", "PHP is the web scripting language of choice.")) {
    echo "A match was found.";
} else {
    echo "A match was not found.";
} 

As you can see, the forward slash "/" indicates the start and end of the pattern.

An "i" afterwards makes it case-insensitive.

I can't remember exactly what the "s" means. It's something to do with matching a pattern when there's a new line.

The period (dot) symbol is normally a wildcard (meaning it can stand for any single character). So if you actually want to match a period symbol itself, you need to escape it with a backslash "\" before it.

Yes, "GPO Box" is already covered by the mod. The others will need adding.

What does cURL have to do with the PO Box Ban mod?

Are you in the right thread?
