A simple regular expression ?

[Anon]

Hi, I am spending a lot of time getting rid of non alphanumeric characters in strings like this:

  $key=str_replace("-", "", $key);
  $key=str_replace("_", "", $key);
  $key=str_replace(";", "", $key);
  $key=str_replace(".", "", $key);
  $key=str_replace(",", "", $key);
  $key=str_replace("|", "", $key);
  $key=str_replace("?", "", $key);
  $key=str_replace("#", "", $key);

Is there a regular expression that could do this for me ?

Thank you,
David

$key = ereg_replace("[^[:alnum:]]", '', $key);

of

$key = ereg_replace("[[:punct:]]", '', $key);

something like that..
