[Resolved] [Resolved] Ereg_replace hell!!!! Someone from heaven help me please :)

[jamesm87]

$username=ereg_replace("/.", "", $username);
$username=ereg_replace("/-", "", $username);

I want it so that it removes . and - from the username.

Whats wrong with the above?

$username=ereg_replace(".", "", $username); 
$username=ereg_replace("-", "", $username);

Try this:

$username=ereg_replace(".", "", $username);
$username=ereg_replace("-", "", $username);

The slashes are the wrong direction.

Hi,

this one should do it,too:

$username=preg_replace("/[.-]/", "", $username); 

or

$username=str_replace(".","",$username);
$username=str_replace("-","",$username);
