Sometimes clients put a dollar sign "$" in a form that only needs a
number (like "1.50").
Is there a way to take a post variable and automatically convert it to a
float value, stripping off any non-numeric characters?
I tried doubleval() without success and I can't use intval() because it
has decimals.
kind regards,
bill
