php - empty range in char class

904

I have this script

mb_regex_encoding('UTF-8');
mb_internal_encoding('UTF-8');

$yomi = 'アイウエオャュョハ゛ヒ゜';

if (mb_ereg('^[ヲ-゜]+$', $yomi)) {
    return true;
}
return false;

When I run it I get a warning:

[Warning]: mb_ereg(): mbregex compile err: empty range in char class

I googled but can't find a solution. Help please.

Solution:

If you are looking for a half-width katakana regex, you can use the following validation:

preg_match('~^[ｧ-ﾝﾞﾟ]*$~u', $yomi, $matches)

See the regex demo

IDEONE demo:

$re = "/^[ｧ-ﾝﾞﾟ]*$/u"; 
$yomi = "アイウエオャュョハ゛ヒ゜";
$yomi2 = "ｶﾀｶﾅ"; 
if (preg_match($re, $yomi, $matches)) {
    echo "$yomi is valid!\n";
}
if (preg_match($re, $yomi2, $matches)) {
    echo "$yomi2 is valid!";
}

Output is onlyｶﾀｶﾅ is valid!.
