Php regular expression failed

[alexrho]

I am trying to write a regex that will only allow text uppercase and lower. I had no idea how to write any regex so I found a post on StackHow do I write a regex in PHP to remove special characters?With a link to a place to learn. The tut is fantastic so do read if yuo have trouble with regex.\[code\]if( preg_match('/^([A-Za-z\s]+)&/', $pagename) ) { //do stuff } else {echo"no special char or num";}\[/code\]How ever it fails. If I type for exampleNew Web Pageit should allow this but it fails.
