the patterns seem ok, but you should enclose them within some delimiter
characters, e.g. "/[a-zA-Z][0-9]/" or something like that

Yes, but make sure you don't end up with a / inside your expression,

You could also use another delimiter in your preg functions, i prefer
using the % symbol, but you could of course use anything you want :)
