Function to remove all non-numeric characters in PHP
Sometimes it’s helpful to ONLY get numeric characters.
Phone numbers, age — whatever your little PHP heart desires.
function remove_non_numeric($string) {
return preg_replace('/\D/', '', $string)
}
WRAAAAAAA,
Bryan

Line 2 is missing a “;”.
This is more readable I think:
preg_replace(’/[^0-9]/Uis’, ”, $string);
