Remove none english alpha characters

[kiwis]

I’ve got data coming into via RSS feeds in a random format such as " Mi Teleferico – “my cablecar” – La "

How can I only echo english characters

Would you really want to remove nonLatin characters? Wouldn’t that make it next to impossible to read?

Yes I do so keen to know how

preg_replace()

preg_replace("/[^a-z ]/i", "", $input_lines);
