[RESOLVED] Regex multilanguage

[whisher06]

Hi.
I need a regex that allow only
non-digit character but not special chars
just a blank space and the single quote (')

Valid

Dell'Ogliè
De Deçois
I tried this

#^\d+\'?\s?\D+$#

but allow also special chars 🙁

Bye.

Try just

#^\w+$#

Thanks for the reply
I managed this

#^\w+\'?\s?\w+$#

but it doesn't allow special chars
but allow numeric digit 🙁

Bye

$string1= "Dell'Ogliè";
var_dump(preg_match("#^\w+\'?\s?\w+$#", $string1));//true ;)
$string1= "De Oçois";
var_dump(preg_match("#^\w+\'?\s?\w+$#", $string1));//true ;)
$string1= "Weißmüller";
var_dump(preg_match("#^\w+\'?\s?\w+$#", $string1));//true ;)
$string1= "Weißmüller3";
var_dump(preg_match("#^\w+\'?\s?\w+$#", $string1));//true :( no number please !

I don't want digit characters

I want to allow
alphabetic characters
(not only the english alphabet but also other country
ie
é,ò,ù,ì for italian
ç for france
and so on )
the single quote ( ' ) ie Dall'ulma
the space ie De Andrè

Bye and thanks for the time 😉

Try:

"#^[[:alpha:]]+'?\s?[[:alpha:]]*$#"

It works fine 😉
Thanks again.
Bye.
