Am I right in thinking that you want the form input variable to contain numbers only? If so, you could simply do this: $variable = preg_replace("![^0-9]!s", "", $variable); Which would strip out everything that's not numbers. OR, are you expecting strings like: "Here's a number you can call for tech support: 12345 6789 - be patient, they take *forever* to answer!" If so, you could probably craft some regular expression up to remove the spaces. James
