This should work correct?

PHP Code:


			
ereg_replace('[^A-Za-z]','', $str);

Because I am using it on a project that I need to strip any characters that are not alpha numeric, or if the string contains dash's or underscores that is ok too. But I can add that in later. I guess my problem is that It's not stripping '^' or '#'. I'm sure there are more characters its letting through. But those are the ones I've noticed so far.
