Strip Down Strings

I need to know how I can remove letters and all symbols except periods "." from a string.

Thanks.

 

You just want to allow periods?

$text = preg_replace('/[^\.]/', null, $text);

PHP:

 

Only numbers and periods... That example sort of works but it only leaves the periods.

 

$text = preg_replace('/[^\.0-9]/', null, $text);

PHP:

 

Thanks man that worked great.

Now, for future reference, what would that string look like if I wanted just periods, numbers, and commas?

 

Like this.

'/[^\.\,0-9]/'

PHP:

 

Use this I hope it will help you to solve your problem.

$text = preg_replace('/[^\.0-9]/', null, $text);

If you hve a problem let me know.

thanks

 

^^ This is exactly what I posted before?

 

Always as helpful Thanks, nico_swd.

 

Yeah nico I had it working after your second post. I just asked how I would add the "," to that so I know how to use the function. I was unclear on how to sort out certain things.
