Heaven! ;) Just declare a new array and
eregi()will populate it for you. Jeremy L. Falcon Homepage : Sonork = 100.16311

I used echo $newstring, but nothing appeared.

That's because ! is valid according to the regular expression.
[^a-z0-9 .,:;!?]+
If there are no matches (like in this case)
eregi()will return false and $newstring never has a value set. You can use theelseclause if you want to set a flag or something saying the data is good, set $newstring to $data, or whatever. What chars do you want to keep? For just alphanumeric with spaces, try this...[^a-z0-9 ]+

Song: Breakdown - Album: Use Your Illusion II - Artist: Guns N' Rosesi worked it out, i use the eregi_replace function, with
[^a-z]+as the pattern.
