If I was a bank I'd be very fussy lol

I have a function to force it to a double (include cents value if none) before being inserted into database etc but for this part I don't really need it to validate it.

Most banks here reject everything that isn't in the right format. You're being very generous to your users!

Everything that comes from a form gets trimmed, stripped and slashes added first

I got the second ereg example from (php.net), it works on 12000.00 value but not 12000

**long pause**

By crikey I think I've got it,
if(!ereg("^[0-9]+|[0-9]{1,3}(\.[0-9]{0,2})?$",$amount)) seems to work

It's a bit hard to test properly as I have so many restrictions on everything else, but that with is_numeric() seems to catch everything, wooohooooo

Thanks

Problem with the code above is it will allow values like 1abcdef2, is_numeric() seems to allow multi commas but only one full stop which is great as it allows millions and cents.

http://www.php.net/ereg has the following, which is what you have, right?

Quote:
Money
eregi('^[1-9]{1}[0-9]*[.]{1}[0-9]{2}$',$price)

The only difference is the single quotes v. double quotes.

Are you stripping, trimming, et cetera as well?
