Validation class: alpha-dash-comma - ?

Hey thanks!

ucantblamem -- your solution did the trick. I had tried a slash before the comma before to no avail. But thanks for the suggestion tonanbarbarian.

I also had to add a space in there since we are allowing people to enter phrases or a couple of words separated by a space. All is working well now. Here's where we landed:

Code:

function alpha_dash_comma($str)
{
    return ( ! preg_match("/^([-a-z0-9_, ])+$/i", $str)) ? FALSE : TRUE;
}

Thanks for the assistance!
