Field editing

[promised]

In CGI I do this to get rid of " , and excessive blanks. How can it be done this simple using PHP?

$in{'comments'} =~ s/"/ /go;
$in{'comments'} =~ s/,/ /go;
$in{'comments'} =~ s/ / /go;
$in{'comments'} =~ s/ / /go;
$in{'comments'} =~ s/ / /go;
$in{'comments'} =~ s/ / /go;

Thanks,

Ron

ltrim and rtrim removes whitespaces on the left and right of a string. check those.

also, to remove characters from a string

$string = " hello&hi!";

//Remove Whitespace

$string = ltrim("$string");

//Remove & and !

$string = str_replace("&", "", $string);
$string = str_replace("!", "", $string);

For Regular Expressions replace:

preg_replace();
