str_replace all numeric text?

[f8ball]

How can I remove all numeric text and the ampersand symbol from a string. I've only been able to remove an exact match (ex. 111&, 13&, etc.)

<?php echo str_replace("&"," ",$string); ?>

Thanks.

If you just want to replace any occurence of an & or integer with an empty string or a space or whatever, you could use a regular expression or do something like this:

$string = str_replace( array_merge( range( "0", "9"  ), array( "&" ) ), "",  $string );

Note: I haven't tried this code so it may not work exactly as written, but you get the idea.
