Is it worth commenting months after the fact?

In case you are looking for something to convert amount with currency “$50.5″ to only amount without currency “50.5″

function convertMoney($string) {
return preg_replace(’/[^0-9\.]/Uis’, ”, $string);
}

It was a rather short post but handy. Imparting any knowledge shouldn’t be criticized.

Paulius, you wouldn’t be here if you didn’t need to know about it right?

Yes it absolutely was. I’m sending out text message notifications for new fishing reports and have to strip non-numeric chars. Thanks!

THK 4 this simple but useful.

Line 2 is missing a “;”.

This is more readable I think:

preg_replace(’/[^0-9]/Uis’, ”, $string);

Is it worth an entire reply?
