[SOLVED] Letters, Spaces and . -

[Jessica]

[code]if(!preg_match("/^[A-Za-z.]+$/", $this->username)){
  $valid = 0;
}else{
  $valid = 1;
}[/code]

I also want to allow the - and a single space.

Help?

just add them in the character range:
[code][A-Za-z.-\s][/code]

Actually if you want to include the '-' character it needs to appear first in a character class (or escape it, since it has special meaning inside the class, as in 'A-Z').
[code]if(!preg_match("/^[-A-Za-z.\s]+$/", $this->username)){
  $valid = 0;
}else{
  $valid = 1;
}[/code]
