Using PHP eregi Function - Solve XML XSD Pattern Definition

[Hootenanny]

Hi all,

I have this xml xsd pattern defintion;

[A-Z,0-9]{5}[0-9][0,1,5,6][0-9]([0][1-9]|[1-2][0-9]|[3][0,1])[0-9][A-Z,0-9]{3}[A-Z]{2}

and I need to convert it into an ereg regular expression to valid some input from a form. I've been at this for hours but can't seem to get anywhere. Can any of you guys help out...?

This is an extended "legal" regex:

/[A-Z,0-9]{5}[0-9][0,1,5,6][0-9]\([0][1-9]|[1-2][0-9]|[3][0,1]\)[0-9][A-Z,0-9]{3}[A-Z]{2}/

But I have no way of knowing if it works or even finds what you need. I added /'s to test the grammar

The slashes worked Jim, thanks alot! FYI I'm using the regex to verify UK driving license numbers. Thanks again.
