[PHP] Replacing chars like: º OR ¿
Hi there, I am still searching for a function which is replacing all chars not between [a-z] for exampe a province name like: minºaqah-ash-shamal¿yah into valid chars or just deleting them. There seems to be an endless amount of those chars. Thanx for any hint, andy -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

There seems to be an endless amount of those chars. This grep pattern: [\x80-\xFF] will match any high byte character - you could replace with null before displaying if just deleting is all you really need. why not specify the character set in your html so you can just leave them in?

Note that this will also get rid of the - in this case since you
specifically asked for something that got rid of everything not a-z
Yes. And to not get rid of the -, you need to specify it as the 1st
charcter, or in your case, as the 2nd:
$new = preg_replace('/[^-a-z]/i','',$old);
How do you allow [ and ]?
$new = preg_replace('/[^[]-a-z]/i','',$old);

If I understand it correctly, you'd also not remove the ^ character, because you've mentioned this char quite sume times. The ^ has only a special meaning, if it's the 1st character in a [] group.
