    Hi,
    I am looking to validate a street address input. Allowing Uppercase,lowercase,numeric, and spaces only. The following allows uppercase,lowercase,and underscores only.

    if (!preg_match('/^[a-z\d_]{1,28}$/i', $address))

    What do I need to add to allow for spaces?

    Thanks.

    if i'm not mistaken, you should use \s

    if (!preg_match('/^[a-z\d_\s]{1,28}$/i', $address))
