Many Thanks. Chris. I needed to work out the number of capital letters in a string and this helped strip out the punctuation so I only have the alphanumeric characters to work with.

I am surprised that there is not a built in function for this. I am trying to get an article title to become a part of url in order to do so it first has to become alphanumeric then the spaces have to be replaced with something (dashes in my case). I wonder if there is a ready made function that I just have not came across yet. preg_replace will work for now. Thank you. Thanks! I am surprised that there is not a built in function for this.

Swapped the fancy quotes for regular quotes and all is well. A-HA The PROBLEM was that I DID cut and paste the code.
