quick question

[frustrated]

Is there an easy way to strip a string of all non-alphebetical characters and numbers?

[Ninjakreborn]

yes but I am not sure how to put all of those pieces together. I can tell you that there is a whole chunk of functions for doing that type of thing in different ways, there are those that if utilized properly you can probably achieve that.

try something like this:

[code]
$string="aslj234u0jlkj3l4k+-043%";

$replace = preg_replace('/[\d]*[^\w]*/','',$string);

// the [\d] will remove all numbers
// the [^\w] will remove all non a-zA-Z0-9_
[/code]
