Yii 1.1 General Discussion

Hi,

Is there a way to add letters only validation in a form field like name should contain letters only and no special characters.

There is a rule for integer only in yii, but, i couldn’t find anything for letters only.

Please advice!

Kul.

 array('my_field', 'match',

                'pattern' => '/^[a-zA-Z\s]+$/',

                'my_field' => 'my_field can only contain word characters'),
