Finally, something that worked like I wanted. Changed my length requirements and took out special characters. Only think I can't find is what the \w actually includes besides letters, numbers, and the underscore. I want to make sure input does not include html tags.

Aditya this already limits the number of characters it accepts so I'm not sure what you are asking. To allow spaces simple add a space between the square brackets.

Title: With mods can be used for variable names

With a few slight modification this could also be used to check valid variable names of programming languages. Most languages I know follow similar restictions to variable names. Remove the requirement of a digit (.*?\d) and change the lengh restictions and the list of special characters to whatever is approiate to the language in question.
