-> problem

[gerus]

Hi
is there any function which removes a string in an unknown string between two strings i know. This means: $string = \"AnyText - StringA - UnwantedText - StringB - AnyText\" and i want to remove the unwanted text. I do not know the unwanted text and the other text. I only know that it is between string A and B which i also know. I hope you understand my problem.
thanx gerus

This will work but I don\'t think it\'s the cleanest way...

$string = \"AnyText - StringA - UnwantedText - StringB - AnyText\"

$array_beg = explode(\"StringA\", $string);
$array_end = explode(\"StringB\", $string);

$newstring = $array_beg[0].\"StringA\".\"StringB\".$array_end[1];

echo $newstring;

Cleaner would be

$string="Anytext - StringA - UnwantedText - StringB - Anytext";

$StringA = "StringA";
$StringB = "StringB";

$newstring=preg_replace("/(?<=$StringA).+?(?=$String😎/", '', $string);

You might want to preg_quote() $StringA and $StringB first.
