Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ',' preg_match

Question

I keeping getting the error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ',' on line 97

Line 97:

if (preg_match('/['.unichr(0x1F300).'-'.unichr(0x1F5FF).unichr(0xE000).'-'.unichr(0xF8FF).']/u'), $_POST['username'])) {

How do I fix this?

Answer 1

if (preg_match('/['.unichr(0x1F300).'-'.unichr(0x1F5FF).unichr(0xE000).'-'.unichr(0xF8FF).']/u', $_POST['username'])) {

Remove the ) right before the ,

It might be easier to spot this way:

 $pattern = '/['.unichr(0x1F300).'-'.unichr(0x1F5FF).
            unichr(0xE000).'-'.unichr(0xF8FF).']/u';
 if (preg_match($pattern, $_POST['username'])) {

A good reason to keep your lines short, and use a good IDE.
