Cold Fusion has RegEx to do this with. If I want to search a string
looking for anything non 0-9 and non a-z what should I be looking at?
Could I do:
$EXPR = "non a-z, non numerical";
strstr($SEARCH_STRING, $EXPR)
I hope this makes sense, I am not sure what PHP calls this type of
searching but in Cold Fusion it is called REGEX. Any suggestions on
where I can look in the php documentation to read more about this?
