thanks very much people i worked it out in the end but really good thanks.

Whatis the best command for srtipping out the numbers if any are included?

This would remove any numeric characters.

<?php 
$string = '1 4m l337 h4x0r';
$search = range(0,9);
$replace = '';
$new = str_replace($search, $replace, $string);
echo $new;
?>
