[PHP-DB] Validate value From: Jensen, Kimberlee (KJensen <email protected>)

1. You have to allow for a space in your pattern - you can do so by hitting the space bar or using \s. Here are some options

  $pattern="/^[a-zA-Z ]+$/";
        if(preg_match($pattern,$_POST['name']))
         {

  $pattern="/^[a-zA-Z\s]+$/";
        if(preg_match($pattern,$_POST['name']))
         {

  $pattern="/^[a-zA-Z]+[\s]?[a-zA-Z]*$/";
        if(preg_match($pattern,$_POST['name']))
         {

2. Do you want other characters besides numbers in the phone, such as 333-333-3333?
Otherwise, this should do it:

  $pattern="/^[\d]{10}$/";
        if(preg_match($pattern,$_POST['phone']))
         {
