    User Name Validation Code: Use below code, to check if the name field only contains alphabet and white space.

    $name = test_input($_POST["name"]);
    if (!preg_match("/^[a-zA-Z ]*$/",$name)) {
      $nameErr = "Only alphabet and white space allowed";
    }
    

    E-mail Validation Code in PHP PHP's filter_var() function is used to check whether an email address is in correct format or not. In the code below, if the e-mail address is not correct, then it gives an error message.

    $email = test_input($_POST["email"]);
    if (!filter_var($email, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)) {
      $emailErr = "Invalid email format";
    }
