Description:
------------
This code should delete all non-alphanumeric signs (except spaces).
If you have latin special chars like "?", on the linux machine they are deleted. On a win environment using same php version they are kept as alnum. The deb machine runs with ISO-8859-1 charset.

Reproduce code:
---------------
$somePhrase = 'i don\'t know why, but many people know ?ber';
echo preg_replace('/[^[:alnum:][:space:]]/', '', $somePhrase);

Expected result:
----------------
i dont know why but many people know ?ber

Actual result:
--------------
i dont know why but many people know ber

You need to use the correct locale, see setlocale() documentation.

I'm sorry but setlocale(LC_ALL, 'de_DE'); has no effect. Same with an explicit set of the german or german/european charset. (btw same behaviour on a freebsd4 machine)
Until now i have only seen problems with this on ubuntu machines running with utf8 standard charset
