How can one ensure that only letters are allowed in a field while using regular expressions in PHP?

To ensure that only letters are allowed in a field using regular expressions in PHP, you can use the preg_match function with the regular expression pattern "/^[a-zA-Z]+$/". This pattern will match only strings that contain one or more uppercase or lowercase letters. 

$input = "ExampleString";
if (preg_match("/^[a-zA-Z]+$/", $input)) {
    echo "Input contains only letters.";
} else {
    echo "Input contains non-letter characters.";
}
