preg_match php special characters

As part of my register system I need to check for the existence of special characters In an variable. How can I perform this check? The person who gives the most precise answer gets best.

Answer 1

$special_chars = // all the special characters you want to check for 
$string = // the string you want to check for 

if (preg_match('/'.$special_chars.'/', $string))
{
// special characters exist in the string.
}
