# Alpha
- `Alpha()`
- `Alpha(string ...$additionalChars)`
Validates whether the input contains only alphabetic characters. This is similar
to [Alnum](Alnum.md), but it does not allow numbers.
```php
v::alpha()->validate('some name'); // false
v::alpha(' ')->validate('some name'); // true
v::alpha()->validate('Cedric-Fabian'); // false
v::alpha('-')->validate('Cedric-Fabian'); // true
v::alpha('-', '\'')->validate('\'s-Gravenhage'); // true
```
You can restrict case using the [Lowercase](Lowercase.md) and
[Uppercase](Uppercase.md) rules.
```php
v::alpha()->uppercase()->validate('example'); // false
```
