according to your syntax that you gave i tried to write this
function check_Name($Name,$FamName)
{
if ((!eregi("^[a-z]+$",$Name))||(!eregi("^[a-z]+$",$FamName)))
{
$ans=FALSE;
}
else
{
$ans=TRUE;
}
return $ans;

}


but it is still taking numbers can you tell me if the code up is wrong please thank you

Strange it works for me!:[code]<?php

function check_Name($Name, $FamName)
{
    if ((!eregi("^[a-z]+$",$Name)) || (!eregi("^[a-z]+$",$FamName)))
    {
        $ans = FALSE;
    }
    else
    {
        $ans = TRUE;
    }
    return $ans;
}

if(check_Name('j0hn', 'w3lls'))
{
    echo "valid!";
}
else
{
    echo "invalid!";
}

?>[/code]
With numbers it echos invalid, without - john wells - its valid.

How are you checking whether the function returns true or false?
