regular expressions

[akravets]

Hello,

Can anybody tell me how using regular expressions to check for string that contain only letters and spaces. So, a string like 'welcome to our website' would be correct. Right now I have this:
if(eregi('^{[a-zA-Z]+$',$HTTP_POST_VARS['descr'])){}
/// -----------------
}

thanks,
Alex

So that covers letters - what about....

if (eregi('^[a-zA-Z ]+$', $HTTP_POST_VARS['descr']))
{ 
    // Blah blah
} 

i.e. All letters (upper and lower) and a space... any number of times from beginning to end of the string

N.B. This allows a string to start or end with a space or a character.

thanks! This looks almost too easy 🙂
