something like this:
preg_match("/^[A-z0-9,.]*$/",$description);

| Must be I am not writing it correctly.
Currently I have without any validation
$formValidation->addField("user_link_description", true, "text", "", "", "",
"");
I want to exclude input of email, url and any php code. Just plain text.

| your regexp included some special characters in the ascii character set
there. also, the limit was not specified. dot must be escaped because it
normally matches any character, but I can't remember its behavior in
brackets...
preg_match("/^[A-Za-z0-9,\.]+{,250}$/",$description);
