Thanks to all who chipped in.
I'm going with John Asendorf's '$pages = ereg_replace ( "[^0-9cdilmvx,]" ,
"-" , $pages);' which works for me.

Try something like:
$newstring = preg_re
acter 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).

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

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
