PHP

if (isset($_POST['txt'])) {
    if (!empty($_POST['txt'])) {
        $input = $_POST['txt'];

        //Check for special characters
        if (preg_match('/^[a-zA-Z\s]+$/', $input)) {
            $veggies = array("Potato", "Cucumber", "Carrot", "Orange", "Green Beans", "onion");
            $fruits  = array("Apple", "Banana", "orange", "Pineapple", "Grapes", "Watermelon");
            $salad   = array_merge($veggies, $fruits);

            $search = array_filter($salad, function($list) use ($input) {
                return (stripos($list, $input) !== FALSE);
            });

            print_r($search);
        } else {
            echo 'Only letters and spaces are allowed.';
        }
    } else {  
        echo 'Enter an item.'; 
    }
}

If you also allow numbers, you can use the regular expression '/^[a-zA-Z0-9\s]+$/'!
