ICQ number problems.

[Cold Steel]

When someone puts something other than their ICQ number (for example, n/a or "don't have one") you get a big ugly broken image.

Take a look here:

There's not really much that you can do about that. Tell them to leave the box blank if they do not have one.

can a simple check be made when people register (or edit their profile) that would check to see if they put in a number or text. If they put in text, it would reject it.

Should be easy to do.

I think this should work:

if ( (strlen(strpos($variabletocheck, [0-9]))) and (!strlen(strpos($variabletocheck, [a-zA-z]))) ) {
...{numbers only}...
} //end if

Not sure if strpos accepts regular expressions though. (Hope I didn't mess up those parentheses)

I'll do that in the next version.

Thanks,

John - please test it locally before you release it - I have NO clue if it works at all. (that is if you are referring to my code)

Don't worry - I wrote my own code. I don't think that PHP would like ...numbers only... anyway :)

What? Haven't you heard of PHP4.rc1-ED? It contains a function ...{numbers only}... :D
