Perfect, thanks very much. I think I'll probably die before I'm ever handy with regex.

Is there a command to strip all non-alphanumerics form the beginning
and end of a string?

Ex.: '&^%kj.h,kj..*(' becomes 'kj.h,kj'

<?php

$text = ereg_replace( '^[^[:alnum:]]+', '', $text );
$text = ereg_replace( '[^[:alnum:]]+$', '', $text );

?>

Cheers,
Rob.
