The pattern string needs to include delimiters within the string,
so in your case, something like "/[^0-9]/".

You can also use the specifier \D to mean non-digit:

$phone = '1a2bc34567890';
$number = preg_replace("/\D/","",$phone);
echo "$phone => $number";

Produces:
1a2bc34567890 => 1234567890

Cheers
Tony
