Note Submitter: webmaster at freedownloads32 dot com ---- Use this function to remove unwanted characters. Here is how it works: 1. it replaces all the unwanted characters with spaces 2. than it replaces multiple spaces with one space Now you have a clean $subject function str_replace_all($search,$replace,$subject) { for($x=0;$x<strlen($search);$x++){ $search1 = substr($search,$x,1); while(strpos($subject,$search1)!==false) { $subject = ereg_replace(' +', ' ', str_replace($search1,$replace,$subject)); } } return $subject; } use: str_replace_all('/()[]-+&!?#:_', ' ', '$subject') John Lande http://www.freedownloads32.com
