question ereg_replace

[sneaks]

hi & happy new year.

my question:
i want to strip non alphanumeric characters except for spaces so i have:

$zobot = ereg_replace("[^a-z,A-Z,0-9,_]","",$zAction);

not sure how i keep the space... tried searching a bit around but i am not sure the term for those kind of 'operations' within the function?

take care
