ereg_replace problems.

[HairyArse]

Hi guys. I'm struggling with ereg_replace I need it to do two things but can't get it to do either, so how do i:

1)

remove all symbols from a string so there are only letters and numbers in the string

2)

remove all spaces from a string and replace them with commas.

I'm sure this is really simple when you know how, but I don't know how. 🙁

str_replace(' ', ',', $string); <-- Replaces all spaces with comma

ereg_replace("([^{a-zA-Z0-9])*",} "", $string); <-- Should replace any non-alpha-numeric with nothing

Hi and thanks for your reply bpat:

Slight variation on the above, I want to remove all symbols from a string but not spaces.

I want the converted string to be alpha numeric only but to also contain spaces - then I can use the str_replace to convert all spaces to commas.

[bpat1434]

ereg_replace("([^a-zA-Z0-9 ])*", "", $string);

Should just be able to use that....
