Sigma 30mm f/1.4 EX DC HSM for Canon

Need to convert a string into an integer. Example is $150,000 => 150000
Googled for the answer, but got mostly the other way around (integer to currency). I'm sure this should be simple. Thanks in advance.

$str = preg_replace('/[^0-9]/s', '', $str);

I don't think that will work with decimals? e.g. $150,000.99

Eh, maybe not, but I don't need to worry about decimals in this instance. It worked fine. Good point, though, bvy.

If you need decimals do a \.* and a \d* afterwards, I'd say.

Edit: But you don't so you're fine

Still good to know. So how would that look in the code?

Sorry. Wasn't paying attention, so what I suggested was wrong.
I'd split on "." (might be a "\.", can't remember if split takes regex), and handle the $'s and c's separately. Use the preg_replace as per byv on the first result and if it splits you have the second.
