Validation error

pkornmeier 16 Apr, 2018

Hi,

i try to validate a phone number in my form with a regular expression. That´s the code entered in the designer field "validation/regular expression"

[0-9 ()-/+]

This works fine with the Javascript-validation filling out the form, but when the form is send i get a validation error.

Any idea?

thanks for your suggestions.

The problem is solved.

First you need to escape the regular expression.

/ regular expression/

example: /[0-9 ()-+]/

Second I did not escape the slash ( / ). You need to escape with "\/" to accept the slash.

example: /[0-9 +()-\/]/

Hope this can help users to start with "regular expression".
