Thanks Ken! Worked great.

I tried to encapsulating the comma in quotes to see if that would work... Thanks for the quick reply.  That code unfortunately didn't work.  I also just tried [code]echo trim($orders['order_total'], ',');[/code] and it didn't filter out the comma... Example: input:  [code]<b>$1,000.00</b>[/code] desired output: 1000.00 Thanks.

I'm trying to trim out several characters.  It's not trimming out the comma, it is trimming the other characters.  Thanks. Here's what I have now: echo trim($orders['order_total'], '< > b $ / \ ","');
