Remove Special Characters from a String using preg_replace in Php

Hi All, in my earlier post i have written about how to remove special characters from mysql database. Sometime we only want to get result of an input string as a simple composition of alphabets and numbers and we want to remove all special characters in the given string.
In this case Php provide an easy function to do the needful. We can remove all special characters by using preg_replace.
Here is the simple syntax for it.

$result  = preg_replace('/[^a-zA-z0-9/s','',$string);
where $string is the string in which we want to filter special characters and $result is the output string without any special characters.

We can also use another Php function str_replace() to achieve the same if we know what all we have to remove. Here is the simple syntax for it.
str_replace(mixed search,mixed replace,mixed subject[,int & replace_count]);

Avoid ckeditor encoding

Hi
Ckeditor is a very good tool to publish data in drupal. Ckeditor can be applied on textarea and hence dull looking textarea can be changed to a good looking form.
There is a problem with Ckeditor that it take its own encoding and decoding while writing . Sometime it become hard to decode Ckeditor date in case of "'" , "-" and some special characters like these.
This problem can be solved by writing
config.htmlEncodeOutput = True;
in core/editor.js. Its default value is false. This is done to escape HTML in case when editor updates original input element.
This can also be changed in advance option field in ckeditor configuration UI. Write
config.htmlEncodeOutput = True;
in advance settings to avoid any special character encoding.
Queries and suggestions welcome.

Tanot Mata Temple

Have you ever seen Bollywood movie 'Border' made by J.P. Dutta? The temple shown in that movie was this temple. If you have planned to go to Jaisalmer than make a schedule to visit this temple. The best time to visit this place is from October to February. It is said that Pakistan dropped many bombs over this temple during battle of Longewala in 1965. None of the bombs dropped by Pakistani Army explode and now there is a museum showing the unexploded bombs.

Tanot Mata Temple is about 100 kms. from Jaisalmer. So if you have your own vehicle or a private taxi than it may not take more than 2 hrs to reach there. Whole route is full of large sand dunes and very less population and this completely depicts 'The Thar Desert'.
Indo-Pak border is also near to this temple. So if you interested in visiting international border than you have to take permission from the BSF personnel's. Carry your ID proof with you.
