preg-match with a string and numbers

Posted on 16th Feb 2014 07:03 pm by admin

Hi, I can't get the expression to work for my preg_match, what I'd like is for it to match the string, but only if it is accompanied by a letter, not a number. So if a string was found with a number after it, it would pass, but fail if there where letters.
I have this but it doesn't work:

if(!preg_match("/table-/+[abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz]", $string, $dump)) {
//do stuff
}
Thanks for any help.
