or if you aren't into regex (which I find confusing and still am trying
to learn):
if ((strlen(trim($string)) <=6) && ctype_alpha(trim($string)))
{ echo 'good'; }
else
{ echo 'bad'; }

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.
