[PHP] Escaping '#' Sign

[Mike Smith]

I have a string I'm returning from a database. Some entries have # signs in the names ie (COMPANY #42, COMPANY #43...). When I display results all I have is COMPANY. Everything after the # is dropped off. I tried:

If ($cust) {
$cust2=ereg_replace('#','no',$cust);
//tried $cust2=ereg_replace("#","no",$cust); too
}

but that still returns the same thing (COMPANY).

Also tried:

$cust2 = preg_replace ("'&(pound|#163);'i", chr(163), $cust);

Any help is appreciated.
