Question

I am trying to write a regex that will only allow text uppercase and lower. I had no idea how to write any regex so I found a post on Stack

How do I write a regex in PHP to remove special characters?

With a link to a place to learn. The tut is fantastic so do read if yuo have trouble with regex.

if( preg_match('/^([A-Za-z\s]+)&/', $pagename) ) {
 //do stuff
 } 
 else  
 {echo"no special char or num";}

How ever it fails. If I type for example

New Web Page

it should allow this but it fails.

Answer 1

$ is the right sign for ends with not &

it should be /^([A-Za-z\s]+)$/
