I have created a preg_match below with PHP Preg_match()

preg_match("/^[a-zA-Z -:]{5,15}$/")

according to my condition

But my code is accepting numbers, #, comma(,) special characters.

Use `^[a-zA-Z :-]{5,15}$` or escape the hyphen. – Wiktor Stribiżew May 15 '17 at 08:09

replace it: ^[a-zA-Z: ,-]*$ And give your string limits. – Nidhi May 15 '17 at 09:53
@nidhi: It worked but when I'm adding forward slash it stopped working. /^[a-zA-Z0-9-: .,/]{5,200}+$/ – Jasshh Andrews May 15 '17 at 09:58
