Expressions Question?

[Rayn]

Alright this has always confused me like I am sure it has many other coders... how would I go about searching through something like "this is damn cool" and then take out the word damn? so it would just return "this is cool"

Thanks for your time

$var= preg_replace('/damn/','',"this is damn cool');

you can tweak the regular expression to get the extra space out

thank you.. how would I do it for multiple words in the same line of code?

Pass preg_replace an array of the regexps you want to match (e.g., '/damn/' would be one of them).

Why fire up the REGEXP engine when you don't even need it?

$words = array('damn','fuck','shit','ass');
for($i = 0; $i < count($words); $i++)
{
     str_replace($words[$i],'',$string);
}
