Actually, what you need is split() by the sounds of it. Spliting the groups of pages
by ',' would give you an array of either single pages or ranges of pages. From there,
it is just a matter of mathematics to take the pieces of the new array and adding them
together.

Subject: [PHP-WIN] ereg_replace help wanted
Hi,
I don't want to spend a lot of time leaning how to use this function but I
have a problem that I think it can solve.
I have a web form that allows the user to (amongst other things) submit a
pagerange to my database. Using '-' and ',' as separators, I am able to
calculate the number of pages being submitted.
I can handle roman or arabic numerals and a typical range might look like:
'ix-xxvii,21-30,64' and that would usually give me a page count of 30.
The problem is that I think that some of my users are pasting the range in,
rather than re-typing (I don't really want to stop them from pasting) and I
am sure that sometimes the '-' is coming over as something other than a
conventional hyphen.
Can anyone suggest a filter that will handle my hyphens correctly,
regardless of what type of hyphen the user is entering?

John,
I think you've missed my point. I'm currently 'exploding' by ',' to give me
sub ranges and then 'exploding' the subtranges by '-' to get the actual
start and end, adding the subtotals up for the page count. The problem is
that I want to be able to replace the different types of '-' that can come
through, without knowing what they might be using.
In short I'm looking to search for any character that is NOT one of the
following:
"0-9 cdilmvx ," and replace it with '-' [chr(45)] (I do an initial strip of
spaces at the beginning of the process).
Cheers
George

So maybe explode by commas, then explode by "\D" to get ranges?

Try something like:
$newstring = preg_replace('/[^cdilmvx0-9,]/', '-', $string);
But do you really want an "A" (etc.) to be considered a dash?
