Hi,
You can use str_replace. It will replace any char that you want to on something else or on to "" which will remove unnecessary character.
Have a look on http://us.php.net/str_replace . I am pretty shure that it will help you.

// Provides: Hll Wrld f PHP
$vowels = array("a", "e", "i", "o", "u", "A", "E", "I", "O", "U");
$onlyconsonants = str_replace($vowels, "", "Hello World of PHP");

Basing on str_replace:

// 
$vowels = array("1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "0", " ");
$onlyconsonants = str_replace($vowels, "", $stringThatHaveToBeClean);

You can also use regular expresions but if you are newbie str_replace will be better.
