Re: Any Ideas

Or do it all in one line: $string = ereg_replace('[!@#$%^&*()_+=-';:"/.,<>?]', '', $string); If you want to remove non-alphanumeric characters from a string, you can do: $string = ereg_replace('[^[:alnum:]]', '', $string); Perl-compatible regular expressions would work as well, and be slightly faster.

I'm guessing something along the lines of: -- $string=str_replace("!","",$string); $string=str_replace("@","",$string); $string=str_replace("#","",$string); $string=str_replace("$","",$string); $string=str_replace("%","",$string); $string=str_replace("^","",$string); -- etc. "Philip J.
