I need to extract the numbers only from a field. For example: I have an AMOUNT field and so that I can filter out any user typo's I would like to extract the numbers only. If the user enters $56.55 for example or just $56 then I would like to be able to remove the "$" and the "." keeping just the 56 or 5655. Can I use eregi_replace() to do this -- I've been trying but it doesn't seem to work right. Thanks. Jason
