There's a space in your character class, so of course it will be among the
characters matched/replaced. But merely deleting it from the character
class doesn't solve the problem either, since a space character also meets
the criteria for "not a word character" (\W). If the objective is to strip
all characters that are neither a space nor a "word" (a-zA-Z0-9_), then try:
$q=preg replace("/[^ \w]/","",$q);
