Customer having name \u201c1234\u201d has placed order on your Woocommerce site?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We are in 21st century, but it\u2019s still not possible that a human being having a name like 1234 or any other number.
\nWoocommerce allow to fill user information on it\u2019s checkout page. It also allow create user account at time of checkout. on checkout page their are many fields provided by woocommerce which may have input type number or text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Woocommerce allow user to fill number instead of text in first name and last name field which not look so good.
\nbecause name having number in it look like fake details. Which may look like unsafe on site too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It not look good because name can\u2019t contain number so for validating it just use 'woocommerce_after_checkout_validation '<\/code> hook to add custom validation rules and error messages for this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Example :<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
function<\/span> ValidateFirstnameLastname<\/span>( $fields, $errors ){\n  if ( preg_match<\/span>( '\/\\\\d\/', $fields['billing_first_name'<\/span>] ) || preg_match<\/span>( '\/\\\\d\/', $fields['billing_last_name'<\/span>] )  ){\n    $errors->add('validation'<\/span>,'Your First name or Last name contains a number. Really?'<\/span> );\n  }\n}\nadd_action<\/span>('woocommerce_after_checkout_validation'<\/span>,'ValidateFirstnameLastname'<\/span>,99<\/span>,2<\/span>);\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
\"null\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Enjoy<\/p>\n\n\n\n
