Matching ONLY Numbers / Persian Characters And Latin

Question

i need a regex code that matches Numbers/Persian Characters And Latin ( A-Z )

i wrote the following code

preg_match("/[A-Za-z\s\x{0600}-\x{06FF}0-9_\.\- ]/u",$_POST['input'] )

and works fine .

but there is a problem, i dont want to input have any ( @,#,!,%,$,&,* ) characters .

any ideas?

Answer 1

Just use an negative lookahead assertion in your regex to check that there is no such character. Place this at the beginning of your regex. I mean just after the /.

(?!.*[(@#!%$&*)])

For example:

preg_match("/^(?!.*[(@#!%$&*)])[A-Za-z\s\x{0600}-\x{06FF}0-9_\.\- ]+$/u",$_POST['input'] )
