Note Submitter: paul at atomicrevs dot net ---- I made this to parse values returned in a form, but to preserve formatting so that it doesn't get removed in the "remove anything but alphanumeric" line... Probably not elegant, but it works. <?php foreach ($_POST as $key => $val) { $val = preg_replace("(\r\n|\n|\r)", "#", $val); $val = preg_replace("/[^0-9a-z -#]/i",'', $val); // strip anything we don't want $val = str_replace("#", "*", $val); // * Put a p or br here. $_POST[$key] = $val; } ?>
