Regex on Name not accepting single Quote apostrophe
-
I have a single name text field that can contain a hyphen or a single quote (ex: Mary-Beth, O’Neal). I can get it to validate for hyphens, but not for a single quote (i.e. apostrophe). I have tried the expressions listed below. (p/s I also had my max length set to 15 — but even when I removed the setting, the apostrophe still didn’t validate). I tried passing in various character sets for the apostrophe, but I got PHP errors.). Does anyone know what I’m doing wrong?
/^[A-Za-z'-]+$/— nope, apostrophe triggers the Regex fail message/^[A-Za-z\'\-]+$/— nope, apostrophe triggers the Regex fail message/^[A-Za-z\-']+$/— nope, apostrophe triggers the Regex fail message/^[\-A-Za-z']+$/— nope, apostrophe triggers the Regex fail message/^['-A-Za-z]+$/— nope, apostrophe triggers the Regex fail message/^[\-A-Za-z']+$/— nope, apostrophe triggers the Regex fail message/^[\-A-Za-z\']+$/— nope, apostrophe triggers the Regex fail message/^[A-Z]'?[-a-zA-Z]+$/— nope, apostrophe triggers the Regex fail message/^[A-Z]\'?[-a-zA-Z]+$/— nope, apostrophe triggers the Regex fail message
