Stripping

[master82]

I have a small mail system for my site, however I need to sanatise any use input...

 

I an familiar with:

 

<?php
$output = preg_replace("/[^a-zA-Z0-9s]/", "", $input);
?>

 

to restrict the input to text and numbers only, however, I need to also allow spaces, dots and commers. So could somebody help me add these into this?

 

Thanks

Code:

<?php
$output = preg_replace("/[^a-zA-Z0-9.!?, ]/", "", $input);// and so on
?>

Thats the exact website I got the code above from a few months ago, but it doesnt say anything about keeping spaces, commers, fullstops, and i guess even brackets in the variable. (at least not what I can find)

 

And all the google searches I have come accross always use date examples which also doesnt help
