Well people normally just scuff and say learn it yourself.

\W
Matches any non-alphanumeric character; this is equivalent to the class [^a-zA-Z0-9_].

How would I go about adding - to this set of charactes. You forgot I had that in the list.

Quote: I know it gets you angry when people ask for reg exp help

preg_replace("/\W/","//",$mystring);
