[desc]: Hi, I am having difficulties enabling regex for the Phone field in my form.

I am using the following expression inputted into the Regex field:

^[\\(]?(\\d{0,3})[\\)]?[\\s.]?[\\-]?(\\d{3})[\\s]?[\\-.]?(\\d{4})[\\s]?[x]?(\\d*)$

to create the enhanced lin:

Phone||^[\\(]?(\\d{0,3})[\\)]?[\\s.]?[\\-]?(\\d{3})[\\s]?[\\-.]?(\\d{4})[\\s]?[x]?(\\d*)$

The expression was validated here: http://tools.netshiftmedia.com…..xlibrary/# Despite this, using it always returns an error even when using a legitimate phone #.

To continue operations I've removed the regex statement, but any help would be appreciated.

I noticed after clicking "Update settings" all the "\\" escape characters were parsed out. Not sure if that is related.

Note:

P.S. Great plugin, keep up the good work!

Well, cforms is automatically removing backslashes when I enter them in the field.

AJAX is enabled, although the same issue occurs when I disable AJAX.

Same problem here..

It is impossible to compare even simple numbers with regex. Always when pressing update settings there is one slash removed.

I tried to add more than two slashes to the field in several series. Then it removes automatically (when pressing the button) at least two slashes from every series of slashes from the regex field. 

Ex.

^\\\\\\\\d+$\\\\\\—\\\\\\\\\\    will be like   ^\\\\d+$\\—\\\\
^\\\\d+$\\\\ alters to ^\\d+$\\  

It gives following error on the user side when trying to ad anything to the field:

Warning: preg_match() [function.preg-match]: No ending delimiter '/' found inC:\\Inetpub\\wwwroot\\workflow\\wp-content\\plugins\\cforms\\lib_validate.php on line 195

Even though I tried to left the correct amount of slashes to the field and it looked liked OK. After a while some users reported that it doesn't allow any input. So I had to take all regex stuff out of my forms. It looked like OK still when I had to remove it.

Hope there's solution quickly, it would help my job in the future when I have to make calculations with all the funny dollar and h signs from users ;) Great plugin have to say!

Br,

Tommi

Edit:

Wp 2.8 (Mainly because of translation)
cforms 1.6
browser safari and mozilla
Server IIS + PHP
site behind firewall so no url – sorry 

Added one example

Hi,

get_magic_quotes_gpc () = 0

So quotes off.

I changed it on from php.ini and now regex seems to work fine. Let's just hope that doesn't mess up something else ;)

Thanks,

Tommi
