Remove Alphanumerics Except for +
I need some help, guys. This is the first time I've had to work with regex, and it's kicking my butt right now.
This function is currently taking out all the non-alphanumeric characters from a URL in a URL rewrite and caching script I am using. But I want to change the regex so that the + symbol remains. Here's the original function: Code:
function removeNonAlphaNumeric($name, $name_delimiter){
return preg_replace("/[^a-zA-Z0-9]/", $name_delimiter, $name);
}
I've already tried this without success: Code:
function removeNonAlphaNumeric($name, $name_delimiter){
return preg_replace("/[^a-zA-Z0-9\+]/", $name_delimiter, $name);
}
Any ideas?

Welcome to DevShed Forums, mattmauldin.
 Try this: Code:
function removeNonAlphaNumeric($name, $name_delimiter){
return preg_replace("/[^a-zA-Z0-9\+\040]/", $name_delimiter, $name);
}
The "\040" means a space character.

I'd recommend adding a + (as in repetition):
Code:
/[^...]+/ Without, "Programming Languages - More" could turn into "Programming-Languages---More". With, you get "Programing-Languages-More". I'd also recommend trimming off the $name_delimiter from the start and end. Code:
"Programming Languages (More)" before -> "Programming-Languages-More-" after regex -> "Programming-Languages-More" after trim
