Address - must contain numbers and characters

[dunozf]

Hi,

often, the customer forgets to fill the house number in the address. 

Therefore, I need that the customer had to fill the street number. 

On the Internet I found this - if a string contains both numbers and letters.

 

$myString="abc123";
if( preg_match('([a-zA-Z].*[0-9]|[0-9].*[a-zA-Z])', $myString) )
{
echo('Has numbers and letters.');
} else {
echo("no");
}

 

I did experiments with it, but without success. I edited it in authentication.tpl and order-opc-new-account.tpl.

 

Please advise.

Hi,

finally I found a function "isAddress" in classes/Validate.php , which I modified as follows:

 

public static function isAddress($address)

{

// return empty($address) || preg_match('/^[^!<>?=+@{}_$%]*$/u', $address);

return empty($address) || preg_match('([a-zA-Z].*[0-9]|[0-9].*[a-zA-Z])', $address);

}

 

It seems that it works as I wanted.

Would this still work if the house has a name instead of a number?

no, the address must contain the street (text) and number.

I was inspired from http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9335915/check-if-a-string-contains-numbers-and-letters , where is the link to the php tester http://phptester.net/index.php ? lang = en

Yes but what happens if the customers house just has a name and not a number?

Would this throw an error?

I haven't tried this, just asking

if the customer enters only the name of the house, when saving it displays an error.
