    Hi,

    Im having problems with this piece of code. I need it to replace special characters with "". It is doing it for the first 5 $punc variables listed below but it does remove the $ for some reason. Anyone have an idea why its not working for this character?

    Thanks

    [PHP]
    //insert the article slug
    $my_listing_url=strtolower($business_name); // transform to lowercase
    $punc[0]="/!/";
    $punc[1]="/\"/";
    $punc[2]="/£/";
    $punc[3]="/'/";
    $punc[4]="/€/";
    $punc[5]="/\$/";

    // add any punctuation marks likely to be used in your title

    $my_listing_url=preg_replace($punc,"",$my_listing_url);

    // replace all instances of any punctuation found in the $punc array with ""
    [/PHP]
