Replace that with ...
$find = '/[^a-z0-9]++/i';
And now you only need ...
$new_string = trim(preg_replace($find, $replace, $old_string));

Hello List.
I need to remove characters from a string and replace them with and
underscore.
So instead of having something like:
$moditem = str_replace(--,_,$mystring);
$moditem = str_replace(?,_,$mystring);
$moditem = str_replace(!,_,$mystring);
etc.
For every possible character I can

Perhaps, ereg_replace(your regex, replacement_string, String
$variable).

Then, when does one use ereg_replace as against preg_replace? I read from
one the forums that preg_* is faster and ereg_* is if not faster but
simpler.
Is that it?

BUT, all the ereg_* has been depricated. DO NOT USE THEM if you want your code
to work in the future. :)

Hello all,
Does anyone have any snippets of code that will strip several characters
from a string? I am trying to figure out how to do this without using 3
different if statement blocks. This is what I am looking for.
ieUser email address is Chris Ditty
[EMAIL PROTECTED] or Chris
Clarification:
So really, what you want to achieve is to ONLY have the email address?
I'm POSITIVE there's a better way with ereg_replace(), but I haven't got
time to experiment, and i'm no expert :)
So, what I figured was that you would loop through the $email, and if the
first char wasn't a ,
