#2756

i have a script which requires me to remove all numberic characters from a string.

for example, lets say i have this string:

$foo = 'my phone number is: 213-555-1212';

so i want it to be changed to:
$foo = 'my phone number is: ';

as you can see, all the digits have been removed and only the alpah characters are left
