[PHP] Strip Everything But Letters and Numbers?
Is there an easy way to strip out everything but letters and numbers from a string? I tried searching the archives and didn't come up with much. Thanks. Jeff -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

i think with perl regs.. as preg_replace is, you can just use a shortcut
command..
\w is any word char,
\d is any digit..
im not sure it will improve this solution any, but its something else :P
