NO , Nothing just an empty page and know its like this with yours but no answer

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>


        <title></title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <p>  </p>

        <?php
        $Sal = "HI";
        if (preg_match("/[^a-zA-Z ]/",$Sal)) echo "hi";

        ?>

Try this:

<?php
$Sal = "HI";

if (preg_match ('/[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z]$/',$Sal)) {

echo "\nhi\n"; 
  }
?>

This is, by far, my favorite site for regex testing. Make sure you use the Preg radio button, and have fun: http://www.regextester.com/
