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.

i tryed it like that now but still not working

if ("^\d{8,10}$", enteredText)
  {
  finalURL = "http:/domain.com/" + enteredText + "/"
  }
else
  {
  value must be between 8 and 10 digits only
  }

yes the regex alone works

You can use:

PHP Code:

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


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

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.
