Question

Well i’m currently trying to use a regex, but it didn’t do what i want.

It’s a username regex validation :

var $validate = array(
            'nom' => array(
                'regex_nom' => array(
                    'rule'      => '/^[A-Za-zÉÈÊËÜÛÎÔÄÏÖÄÇéèëêüûçîôâïöäa]+$/',
                    'message'   => 'Nom incorrect.'
                )
            )
        );

Well i don’t think it’s needed to explain what i want, but the problem is that when i enter, for instance : Tesédsf it didn’t match and i dunno why…

Answer 1

Try this regexp /^\p{L}+$/u. It checks for words in every language in UTF-8 string.
