Here is an example of removal illegal symbols from string in array. It works much faster than code with regexp usage: <?php $text='This $tring cont@in$ ## of i\\lega\\ symb*ls'; $illegal=array('@',"$",'^','*','#','\\\\',':',';','<','>'); $garb=array(); foreach($illegal as $k) while(($j=strpos($text,$k))!==false){$garb[]=$text{$j}; $text=substr($text,0,$j).substr($text,$j+1);} $garb=array_unique($garb); ?> after that $text will contain "This tring contin s of ilega symbls" and in $garb there will be @$*#\\ symbols. --was-- Here is an example of removal illegal symbols from string in array.
