Simple RegExp Problem...

Hello, Ok, I know this is easy for most of you, and believe me I've been searching and trying to learn all about regular expressions, but I can't seem figure out how to allow addition of spaces between characters. $text = "Here is some text"; Here, I want to be able to match the alpha characters as well as the spaces in between each word. So far I have: preg_match("/^[a-zA-Z]+$/", $text); But that only matches a single word without spaces. I would like to try to stay away from ereg and use preg_match instead because I heard preg_match is faster. ereg() has a way to match spaces by specifying [[:space:]], but I didn't get that solution to work either. How do I match $text to return true? - Nilaab
