You could use str_replace(). I don't think you'll need the power of regular expressions, so str_replace will give you more speed.

example:

PHP Code:


$replace = array(
    // array(OUT, IN),
    array('[', ''),
    array(']', ''),
    array('.', '_'),
    array(' ', '_')
    );

$string = str_replace($replace[0], $replace[1], $string); 


Very close! Didn't work for me though, so I dug in the PHP manual and ended up with this:

$search = array('[', ']', '.', ' ');
$replace = array('', '', '_', '_');

$string = str_replace($search, $replace, $string);

Works like a charm now!! Thanks for your help, got me on the right trail!!
