You shouldn't use capital PHP code like IF, ELSE, END IF etc
You'd use something like:
if (whatever condition you want here)
{
result if condition is true
}
else
{
result if the condition is not true
}
Replacing the part between brackets with whatever you want to happen.

finalURL = "http:/domain.com/" + enteredText + "/"
}
else

Is your regex correct??

Is your regex correct??

yes the regex alone works :)

You can use:

if (preg_match("REGEX", $string))
{
}
....

See the php manual: http://th2.php.net/manual/en/function.preg-match.php

i tryed already alot after reading all this examples
but i cant get it working :(

if (preg_match("^d{8,10}$", $string))
{
echo "http:/domain.com/" + $string + "/";
}
else
{
echo "value must be between 8 and 10 digits only";
}

if (preg_match("^d{8,10}$", $string))
{
print_r("http:/domain.com/" + $string + "/");
}
else
{
echo "value must be between 8 and 10 digits only";
}

And what is not working and where do you place this?

[Koidl]

i placed it in a costumer profile field under "Regular Expression"
the regex is working but it dont transforms it in a link also the error message for wrong valve is not working

[Marco van Herwaarden]

In a custom profile field you can only place an expression that results in true (1) or false (0). You can not perform actions like showing a text.

See the admin help for this field by clicking on the question mark at the right of the field.

thanks anyway

Maybe try to explain what you want with this.

You could use the Custom Profile Field with a RegEx to make sure only a certain format is entered. Then where you want to display it you can use a small template edit to create a link of website URL + the number entered as i think this is what you want to do.

the input is a playernumber for a game and this site where i wanna make a link out of it is a stats site both together should be there personal statslink

well example
my player number = 2345678
and after i past it in my profile (the number) it makes a link out of it (result)
http://domain.de/2345678/ this link should be stand there than instead of the number or just the number but be clickable but link to this link

about the template edit would i edit all profile fields than? because we have more different

the final link is there personal stats site than
sorry for my english :D

btw the regex only stuff works pretty fine alone ..
