I have this code on the submit.php file, but I am getting a syntax error.
function check_fields()
{
$HTTP_POST_VARS[‘brief’]=preg_replace("/0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9/", /www/",/@/",""$HTTP_POST_VARS[‘brief’]);
}
Please help. I need to delete or remove phone numbers, web address and email from the brief field. Many thanks
You can’t set a post that way.
Also, what is this inside the preg-replace???
“/0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9/”,/www/",/@/",""$HTTP_POST_VARS[‘brief’]
Broken down:
“/0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9/”,
/www/",
/@/",
“”
$HTTP_POST_VARS[‘brief’]
Not sure what you were typing there. Here is a link on the preg_replace setup. Some of the samples further down the page might help… http://php.net/manual/en/function.preg-replace.php
This version will dump all numbers and keep just alpha’s:
$outputString = preg_replace(’/[^a-z]/i’, ‘’, $InputString)
Also, here is a great list of general ways to use preg_replace to remove or catch various items…

Good luck, hope this helps…
