Question

Is there a way to test if the spacebar has been pressed in a form text input. I know nthe value or keycode is 32 and have tried various options using statements like:

elseif($rec =='' || $rec == 32 || $rec == ' ')

but still not recognized. I would appreciate any help with this and the code I posted is just part of the relevant code I am using to check for value. Thanks

using preg_match()

$subject = "abcdef";
$pattern = '/\s/';
if (preg_match($pattern,)) {...}

using PHP strpos():

$mystring = 'Hello world';
$findme   = ' ';
$pos = strpos($mystring, $findme);

// Note our use of ===.  Simply == would not work as expected
// because the position of 'a' was the 0th (first) character.
if ($pos === false) {
    echo "no spaces :(";
} else {
    echo "Spacing out !!! :)";
}
