I need to check a form for illegal characters through a whitelist(list of allowed characters) with php. A function that could do this for me would be helpful...I can't find one on google...
to replace any occurrence of "#","$",or "%" with an empty string. Just put whatever characters you need to strip in there. If it's not a simple single character situation (i.e. you need to strip something like "<p>") then you'll have to go deeper into regex land to get there.

Actually, sorry, that pattern is bad, use this instead
well what u did was the black list thing
and what i did is white one
it may look the same
but it is not!
Yes, I got it turned around, which I mentioned previously
Anyway, it does not matter. I posted to support that what you posted should work for him, he just needs to tune the pattern to include his acceptable characters
