ereg replace()

DEPRECATED need alternate function

[whatson]

Looking for an alternate function to:

ereg_replace("[^A-Za-Z0-9.]","", $string)

i.e. something that will remove all characters from a string other than a-z, 0-9 and .

[g1smd]

Try:

preg_replace('/[^A-Za-Z0-9.]/','', $string)

The

'/  /'

part is VERY important.

I got this response
Warning: preg_replace() [function.preg-replace]: Compilation failed: range out of order in character class at offset 7 in C:\xampp\htdocs\test.php on line 4

Showing us your code would be helpful, especially line 4

The second z needs to be lowercase, that's all:

preg_replace('/[^A-Za-z0-9.]/','', $string)

Thanks Steve that worked great.

Ah. Didn't spot the typo in the OP. :)
