How can I check that a string is no more than 6 characters long and only contains alpha characters (no numbers, spaces, periods, hyphens, or anything else, just letters.)



if(preg_match('/^[a-zA-Z]{0,6}$/',$string)) { echo 'good'; } else { echo 'bad'; }

Change to {1,6} if you want to ensure the string isn't empty.
