Alright, well:
[a-z] matches a through z
[A-Z] same, upper case
[0-9] yup, zero through 9
[ ] space
Look up the pattern modifiers, and the pattern syntax in the pcre section of
the manual):
if (!preg_match("/[a-zA-Z]+$/", $name)) {
// $name doesn't consist of characters within a-z or A-Z
}

Just out of curiosity, what are you using this for? I mean, you might be
doing more work than you need to be doing.....

I see - check out number_format(), printf() and sprintf() in the manual -
this might already solve some of what you want, though I can't see why you'd
need two decimal places in a regex check :
$19.95 // one decimal
£19.95 // same
£19.95.1 // what the? :)
Can you elaborate as to why you need 2?
Alright, time for sleep.
Try and give a bit more info as to what you're using these for (and where,
if it's currently being used) your code is failing..
:)
Night
