regular expression

[kevinbaxton]

hello guys how can i remove « and » from a string e.g This «is» a sentence.
the code below doesnt remove it:

$text = "This «is» a sentence";
$newString = preg_replace('/[^a-zA-Z0-9]/i', ' ', $text);
echo $newString

i get this as output
Thus �is� a sentence

Any help??

What encoding are you using when you save the file? Using your code, I received this as output:

This   is   a sentence

Try this in unicode, maybe u need iconv() before

$newString = preg_replace('/[^{a-zA-Z0-9]/iu',} ' ', $text);
