Hi,<br />
<br />
You can also try the preg_replace which is often faster than ereg_replace.<br />
<br />
I am not sure if you need to use multiline mode. If yes, just change expression to <br />
<br />
$pattern = '/[^a-z0-9\s]/im';<br />

<pre><code id="code-170432">&lt;?php
$string = 'yourHTML';
$pattern = '/[^a-z0-9\s]/i';
$replacement = '';
echo preg_replace($pattern, $replacement, $string);
?&gt;</code></pre>
</div>
