preg_replace would be the best i think... then u can just use a regexp like

[^a-zA-Z0-9\-\s\.\,]* to replace all the non-alpha numerical (excluding a
few exceptions like punctuations) with anything u want...

note: the regexp is just an example... so there might be typos and
stuff... read the doc on regexp to create one that will suit your needs
