I would like to replace all chars in a string that are not a-z or 0-9 with a space. I can use a series of str_replace functions, but there has to be a faster way. I know there is a solution but my chemo-brain is slowing me down today. Sorry... Any suggestions? TIA Gerry Not sure which would be easier or faster - but str_replace can take an array (black list approach) , or use preg_replace so you can do a white list approach.-- life is a game... so have fun.
