If you want to check that something isn't empty use operator == .
Let's say you want to check your post['name'] to be empty, you can use

if (post['name'] !== "")

In this case if condition will only return true if post['name'] !== ""

Also you can use empty

if (!empty(post['name']) {

Will return true if your post['name'] is everything but empty.

To check your post['name'] even better, you can use regular expression

$pattern = '/[^a-z]/i';if(preg_match($pattern, $string)>0) {

returns true if there was some other character than letter
