Hey, I'm making a register form, and I don't want the user's first name or last name to be able to contain numbers. How can I make it check if they've entered numbers in a field using PHP? Any help +rep if I can. I've used Google, no joy, so please don't just say use Google.

Thanks,
Vince.

Just using a preg_match on the string should do the trick.



<?php
if(preg_match('/[0-9]/', $string)) {

echo 'error message here';

}
?>

That works perfectly, thanks a lot! +Rep.
