In the end I used a regexp to strip out all non alpha-numeric
characters from the string - and then compared the length of this to
what was left. Using it I can tell if there are vastly more
"non-alpha" characters. Seemed to be a bit quicker than looping
through arrays, etc, although it does involve the overhead of the preg
engine I guess.

BTW - Nice piece in Int PHP Mag this month :)
