No symbol and number in form validation

Question

I get the surname.Than I do error checking.

if (preg_match("/[\d]/",$surname)) {
     $surnameErr = true;
     }

The error shown when number is input. However the symbols would not be validated. I ask how to validate all symbols?

Moveover, how to validate all types of country character name with checking no digit and symbols. Thanks.

This would only validate English letter, but others country letter like French or Japanese letter cannot be validated. Is there any other way to validate other country letter? — user3056561, May 14 '15 at 03:59
That makes it much more difficult. Check this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1725227/preg-match-and-utf-8-in-php — Tim3880, May 14 '15 at 04:06

Reference

var unicodeWord = XRegExp("^\\p{L}[\\p{L} ']*$");

alert('The first Result(with symbol) Ру@сский = '+ unicodeWord.test("Ру@сский")); //false 

alert('The first Result(without symbol) 日本語 = '+unicodeWord.test("日本語")); //true

Try with following code .

 $pattern = '/[^a-zA-Z]/';
$surnameErr = preg_match($pattern,$surname);
   if($surnameErr==""){
       $surnameErr =true;
}else{
   $surnameErr =falsee;
