I am trying to build these regex statements for the preg matches but I am having a lot of trouble. Could someone please identify any that are wrong and provide the correct preg_match code.
Group name needs to be between 2 and 20 characters and contain uppercase and lowercase letters
Group size needs to be a number between 2 and 6
Postcode needs to be a valid uk postcode (government provided statement but unsure if correct implementation)
Budget needs to be a number between 1 and 10000
if (!preg_match('/^[a-zA-Z \']+$/', $group_name)) {
unsuccessful("Please ensure that group name contains only letters, apostrophes
and spaces and is between 2 and 20 characters long",
$group_name, $group_size, $postcode);
} else if (!preg_match('/^([2-6])$/', $group_size)) {
unsuccessful("Please ensure that group size is between 2 and 6 people",
$group_name, $group_size, $postcode);
} else if (!(preg_match("/^[A-Z]{1,2}[0-9]{2,3}[A-Z]{2}$/",$postcode)
|| preg_match("/^[A-Z]{1,2}[0-9]{1}[A-Z]{1}[0-9]{1}[A-Z]{2}$/",$postcode)
|| preg_match("/^GIR0[A-Z]{2}$/",$postcode))) {
unsuccessful("Please ensure that the postcode is correct",
$group_name, $group_size, $postcode);
} else if (!preg_match('/^([1-9][0-9][0-9]{0,2}|10000)$/', $budget)) {
unsuccessful("Please ensure budget is between 1 and 10000 and contains only numbers",
$group_name, $group_size, $postcode); if (!preg_match('/^[a-zA-Z \']+$/', $group_name)) {
unsuccessful("Please ensure that group name contains only letters
and spaces and is between 2 and 20 characters long",
$group_name, $group_size, $postcode);
} else if (!preg_match('/^([2-6])$/', $group_size)) {
unsuccessful("Please ensure that group size is between 2 and 6 people",
$group_name, $group_size, $postcode);
} else if (!(preg_match("/^[A-Z]{1,2}[0-9]{2,3}[A-Z]{2}$/",$postcode)
|| preg_match("/^[A-Z]{1,2}[0-9]{1}[A-Z]{1}[0-9]{1}[A-Z]{2}$/",$postcode)
|| preg_match("/^GIR0[A-Z]{2}$/",$postcode))) {
unsuccessful("Please ensure that the postcode is correct",
$group_name, $group_size, $postcode);
} else if (!preg_match('/^([1-9][0-9][0-9]{0,2}|10000)$/', $budget)) {

Thanks a lot

Group name needs to be between 2 and 20 characters and contain uppercase and lowercase letters
/^[a-zA-Z \']{2,20}$/
Group size needs to be a number between 2 and 6
/^([2-6])$/
Postcode needs to be a valid uk postcode
/^([A-PR-UWYZ0-9][A-HK-Y0-9][AEHMNPRTVXY0-9]?[ABEHMNPRVWXY0-9]? {1,2}[0-9][ABD-HJLN-UW-Z]{2}|GIR 0AA)$/
Budget needs to be a number between 1 and 10000
/^([1-9]|[1-9][0-9][0-9]{0,2}|10000)$/
