That depends on your exact requirements since "strip out all numbers" is rather vague. For starters, look into functions such as [man]str_replace[/man] and [man]preg_replace[/man].

I would suggest str_replace() as well, unless you're comfortable with regular expressions. str_replace() can take an array for the strings it is to replace, so just create an array with the numbers 0-9 (make sure to put quotes around them, otherwise they're just numbers) and use that array as one of the arguments.
