preg_match RegEx

Hi,

I’m trying to make validation for my form and I have some problems with my RegEx.

I have for example a RexEx to validate the name and firstname.

‘/^{^[A-ZÉÏÎÈÇ} A-Za-z –ZÉÏÎÈÇéïîèç]+([ ][A-ZÉÏÎÈÇ][a-zéïîèç]*)?[a-z –éïîèç]*[a-zéïîèç]$/’

The problem is that it don’t work when I’m using post values

preg_match(‘/^{^[A-ZÉÏÎÈÇ} A-Za-z –ZÉÏÎÈÇéïîèç]+([ ][A-ZÉÏÎÈÇ][a-zéïîèç]*)?[a-z –éïîèç]*[a-zéïîèç]$/’, $_POST[‘name’]);

$_POST[‘name’] = ‘Étienne’;

But when I hardcode a value it work

preg_match(‘/^{^[A-ZÉÏÎÈÇ} A-Za-z –ZÉÏÎÈÇéïîèç]+([ ][A-ZÉÏÎÈÇ][a-zéïîèç]*)?[a-z –éïîèç]*[a-zéïîèç]$/’, ‘Étienne’);

Both ways use the same RegEx why it don’t work with $_POST but it do with hardcoded value. I need to use the $_POST.

Thank you
