PHPRunner General questions

I am using PHPRunner V 4.1 Bulid 295.
I have a form that users fill in and one of the fields is a filename. Certain characters are not allowed to be used in the name (such as * / .).
Does anyone know of a way to check a field for the presence of these characters and then not save the information if these charaters are in the field ?
Thanks....George

George,
to check field value use Before record added or Before record updated event on the Events tab.

Here is a sample code:

if (strpos($values["FieldName"],'/'))

{

echo "Error";

return false;

}

else

return true;

Thanks.
This works well if the character is anywhere in the string except at the very beginning.
Anyone have a solution that would also catch these characters if they are the first one on the string?
