A quick partial answer to your question. $name = ereg_replace("[^A-Za-z]", "", $name); That evaluates the string $name and replaces everything that's not a standard letter with nothing "". Then, you can test length like this: if ( strlen($name) ) { echo "enter your name"; } Enjoy, --Dan -- PHP scripts that make your job easier http://www.analysisandsolutions.com/code/ SQL Solution | Layout Solution | Form Solution T H E A N A L Y S I S A N D S O L U T I O N S C O M P A N Y 4015 7 Ave, Brooklyn NY 11232 v: 718-854-0335 f: 718-854-0409
