I have string that am checking to see if it contains valid characters.

This is the code

preg_match('/^[a-zA-Z0-9/-.,; ]+$/', $string)

When I remove "/" it works

preg_match('/^[a-zA-Z0-9/-.,; ]+$/', $string)

What can be the issue here?

You have to escape it! – Rizier123 Feb 19 '15 at 22:36

And whenever something doesn't work: enable `error_reporting`, then google the error message. – mario Feb 19 '15 at 22:43
